Welcome!

Nestled in the heart of Bellefonte, Saint John School has been serving families of all faiths since 1890. We continue the mission of the IHM Sisters by providing strong academics in a faith-filled environment. Offering both 3- and 4 year-old Pre-Kindergarten classes, as well as full-day instruction in Kindergarten through grade 5, we work closely with CIU 10 and our local school districts, to provide students access to Enrichment, Speech & Language, Occupational Therapy, Counseling, and remedial Math and Reading services, including Title I Reading. Alongside traditional curriculum, students enjoy Art, Music, Band, Choir, Technology, and Physical Education. Current technology is abundant at Saint John. From Chromebooks for every K-5 student and iPads for every Pre-K student, we balance new practices with traditional ones. Above all, Religion is more than a class. Students learn and live the Catholic faith in all aspects of their day. We are truly a thriving Catholic school.

What are Classroom Cultivators?
Classroom Cultivators are generous individuals or families who sponsor a specific classroom at Saint John School for the year with a $500 donation. Their support helps ensure that teachers don’t need to use their own funds to provide classroom materials, student resources, and special activities - planting the seeds for a joyful, faith-filled learning environment where great things grow!
