St John The Evangelist School (SOLD OUT)

Academic excellence is the hallmark of an SJE education. The students are challenged to meet the highest academic standards, built on the foundation of Christ’s love. In addition to a challenging curriculum that is aligned with Diocesan and state standards, we offer a wide enrichment program which includes art, music, drama, technology, Spanish, and athletics.

We take pride in the fact that our mission calls us to educate the whole child. In partnership with the parents, we strive to prepare our students to become loving and productive members of society. Through the curriculum and many co-curricular activities at our school, we seek to open eyes and doors to the wonderful possibilities for the future.  The curriculum at St. John the Evangelist is deeply rooted in teaching the basic skills necessary for every student to learn what is presented, and also to develop the skills necessary to continue learning outside of the classroom and beyond eighth grade. The curriculum is integrated between subjects and between grades so that the learning process is seamless, and students easily transition to the next subject and next grade. The curriculum follows the standards set by the Diocese of Sacramento which meet or exceed the standards set by the State of California.

Students receive grade appropriate instruction in religion, reading, English, grammar, writing, math, social studies, Spanish, science, physical education and music. All students spend time in the computer lab learning computer skills and have access to iPads + Chromebooks in the classroom.

Physical Education is part of St. John the Evangelist School’s required curriculum. This program is under the direction of a full-time, credentialed P.E. teacher who is dedicated to providing active and challenging classes for each grade level. Students participate in gross motor movement, learn the rules of organized playground and court games, and are encouraged to be physically active in their lives. Each year the students complete in the Presidential Physical Fitness Test.

In addition to rigorous studies, other activities include Yearbook, Student Council, CJSF, the Junior St. Vincent de Paul Society, and a variety of electives offered to students in grades 3-8.
