Welcome to St. John’s Lutheran School!

For nearly 150 years, St. John’s has been blessed to provide a quality Christian education in a safe, nurturing environment on the northwest side of Chicago. I am thrilled to welcome you into our supportive school community.

At St. John’s, we focus on the whole child: educationally, spiritually, and emotionally. Our core curriculum in Preschool – 8th grade helps students grow at their own pace, while our 1:15 teacher-to-student ratio ensures individualized attention and academic success. As a result, our students consistently score above national norms, and 95% of graduates are accepted into their first-choice high school.

Just as important as academics, our faith in Jesus Christ is at the heart of everything we do. Students deepen their knowledge of Scripture, grow together in weekly chapel, and learn the joy of serving others through regular mission projects. Christian fellowship is central to building character, and our students experience firsthand the blessing of living out their faith.

We also prioritize the emotional well-being of each child. Our teachers build positive relationships with students and guide them in developing healthy ways to understand and manage emotions. We want every child to feel loved, cared for, and supported at St. John’s.

Thank you for considering St. John’s Lutheran School for your child’s education. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We look forward to partnering with you for your child's education!

With joy in Christ,
Michelle Runge, Principal
