When we first moved to Plymouth, we researched the area schools extensively and decided on St. John the Baptist. As our children progressed through the grades, we became more pleased with our decision as we saw the positive influences of the teachers, leadership, classmates, and parents. With our oldest attending high school this year our decision has been validated again as she flourishes at this level because of the education, life skills, and moral base she received at SJB. For us the cost of tuition has been more than worth it, we consider our children's education our most important investment and could not be more pleased with the returns we have seen to this point.

I write this review as both an alum of SJB and as a current parent of students at SJB. My experience as an SJB student was incredibly positive. I was challenged academically and was surrounded by a loving, supportive community (students, teachers, and school families) that encouraged me. As a parent, I see my children having similar positive experiences. The school has met and exceeded my expectations in many different aspects. When our children struggle in certain subjects, extra help, whether in small groups or one-on-one, is provided. The same is true on the other end of the spectrum. The teachers have recognized when they are not being challenged enough and have worked to provide more rigorous curriculum for them. Again, some of this is done in a small group setting or is set out individually. The school community is very tight-knit while still being open and welcoming. The children's needs are the priority at this school. Most importantly, the morals, values, and faith that we are teaching our children at home is reinforced and modeled at school. The facilities and opportunities for the children and families are fantastic. From the technology (smart boards in every classroom, laptops & iPads) to the sports (volleyball, cheerleading, basketball) to the clubs (chess, newspaper) to all of the community service that is part of every classroom and woven into the day, we couldn't be more pleased with what the school is teaching our children beyond the academics.
