St. John's Episcopal School 3427 Olney Laytonsville Road, Olney, MD 20832

"St John's is a special place where all of the children are valued and cared for. My child loves going to school and feels part of a close and supportive community. The communication between school staff and parents is consistently good. Teaching standards are high and class sizes are small. Before and after school care is good and very flexible. We would, without a doubt, do it over again; in fact our second child will be starting next fall. It is truly one solid community and one that only keeps getting better. St. John’s is a wonderful place to grow up."

"We would highly recommend St. John’s to families looking for a school that promotes its students’ academic and personal growth. This is our first year at St. John’s and we have been very pleased with our son’s transition to a new school. The teachers and staff at St. John’s have been very welcoming and supportive. The academic program is very rigorous, but the strong arts program also provides an opportunity for our son to explore his interests in music and theater. We also highly value the emphasis that St. John’s places on incorporating personal character development into its educational program."

"St. John's Episcopal has been an absolutely wonderful experience for my 4th grade twins, as well as my 1st grader. It is a nurturing and enriching academic environment for the students, that has fostered the academic and personal development of my children. The emphasis on character, citizenship, and faith is also a characteristic of the program at St. John's that I find particularly impressive and valuable. The small class sizes allows for a degree of differentiated instruction, and personal attention to students, and their individual learning styles. The teachers and administrators are dedicated, and all school faculty have been engaging, and a pleasure to work with. Our kids truly love it there."

"St. John's is a welcoming, diverse school that prides itself on academic excellence. Our child has been attending the lower school for 3 years and we are thrilled with the progress and advancement of the entire class. The small class sizes allow for the students to be focused and learning at all times. In addition the all-inclusive music arts program for every grade, every student, is inspiring. As well, the administration does an amazing job at making sure your needs are met and the school continues to thrive. I have met amazing parents and students at St. John's and am so happy to be a part of this community."

"Our children were graduated from St. John's last year and I could not be happier with their experience. In addition to excellent academics, St. John's prepares its graduates for their next phase of life. The school has small class sizes and both the teachers and administrators are actively engaged with the students. In addition to the fantastic education, the school teaches so many other things, such as technology and life skills, or “success traits,” which provide a great foundation for any young person to build upon. I highly recommend becoming a part of this community."
