Our History

Established in 1889, St. John’s Lutheran School has a long tradition of excellence in Christian education. Our rigorous, faith-based curriculum combined with an outstanding variety of extracurricular activities prepare children for personal and spiritual growth and academic success.

Within our School Community, we offer:

• Full and half day Preschool for 3 & 4 year olds, and full day Kindergarten
• 1st - 8th Grade
• Before and After School Care
• Full day Summer Camp Program
• Extracurricular Activities
• Service Opportunities

We believe that the loving and caring community of St. John’s makes a big difference in our student and family lives. Our families are very involved volunteering and being active participants in their child’s educational journey. Together we model family and Christian values as we teach forgiveness, compassion, cooperation, peace, love, kindness, patience and self control.

The experience your child will have at St. John’s will set them apart.

​That’s because every student is valued as the unique child God made them to be. They are engaged in the classroom by teachers who care for the “whole child” - head, heart, and spirit. As a result they will feel secure, proud, confident, and ready to succeed. ​

We offer an excellent education and a nurturing school family for students in Preschool through 8th Grade, both in Lombard and to many surrounding communities.
