About Us

St. John’s Lutheran School has been serving the Two Rivers community since the mid 1800’s. It is owned and operated by St. John’s Lutheran Church as part of the congregation’s mission to “make disciples of all nations”.  What makes St. John’s different from the public school and other private institutions is that each day, children from the congregation and community have the opportunity to study God’s Word.

The founding members of the church and school were very determined to provide Christian training for their children. We continue to view spiritual growth as an imperative part of a child’s education.  Each day students participate in religion class, devotion, and prayer. God’s Word flows through every subject that is taught at St. John’s.  Our mission statement sums up this unique philosophy:

 St. John’s Lutheran School assists parents in preparing children for Jesus for this life and the life to come.

In September of 2016, St. John’s went through the accreditation process through WELSSA (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod School Accreditation) which is formally recognized and approved by the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).
