 At St. John the Baptist Catholic School, curriculum is more than mere textbooks. It is the combination of everything that comprises the school experience - from caring faculty teaching beyond mandated levels, to hands-on experiments, to trips off-campus to reinforce concepts learned in class. And at the heart of every student experience is the Catholic faith and its teachings, which are woven into every aspect of daily student life.
