Let us proclaim God’s Word as we help children learn to read the Scriptures so that they might have a relationship with thee, Jesus; the Word who became flesh. May we help students discover God’s incredible creative order so that we might worship and glorify His name in all that we are and in all that we do.

Background information:
Why a St. John Lutheran School?
Our congregation’s mission to Know Jesus and Make Jesus Known springs from the Great Commission (Matthew 28). Finding places and spaces to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ is what we are about!
At St. John Lutheran School our faith is founded in the teachings and scriptures of the Bible. We believe our faith grows when we apply what we learn to our lives here on earth. We are a part of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC) and the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). Our mission is that we all know Jesus and that we make Jesus known.
The NALC has embraced four core values which shape our common life: Christ Centered, Mission Driven, Traditionally Grounded, and Congregationally Focused. We are a church centered on the unique Gospel of Jesus Christ, animated by missions and evangelism, grounded in the 2,000-year tradition of Christian faith, and organized chiefly to serve our congregations. Learn more about our beliefs and teachings on the NALC (North American Lutheran Church) website HERE.
In creating a school, we join a long history where “Lutherans continue to value and promote education. The family is still seen as the first and primary place where faith is taught and nurtured.” However, “Each day Lutheran schools support families in the task of teaching and nurturing faith in their children, as the school becomes a workshop of Christian love. In these schools, children experience God’s love and forgiveness, even as they learn math, history, language, arts, and science.” (Lutheranism 101, by Scot A. Kinnaman)
Where God’s Word is lived and taught, Christ’s presence is experienced. As Luther said,
“Whenever God’s Word is taught, preached, heard, read, or meditated upon, then the person, day, and work are sanctified. This is not because of the outward work, but because of the Word, which makes saints of us all. Therefore, I constantly say that all our life and work must be guided by God’s Word, if it is to be God-pleasing or holy.” (LC 1 92)

At St. John Lutheran School we value the education of every child that walks through our doors. Realizing that parents carry the basic responsibility to educate their children, we also understand that teachers play a large role in helping children develop foundational skills and knowledge. We aim to serve as an extension of a child’s home and church.
The StJLC School has an experienced, caring school staff. Our classes will offer low student to teacher ratios so that each student will receive the personalized attention and individualized instruction they need and deserve.
Tiffany Jureczki has dedicated her life to the academic and spiritual education of the children of Boerne. She has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Education from the University of Texas. She taught at Lackland ISD for 5 years before she began her ministry at St. John Lutheran Church as the Nursery Director. Tiffany helped start a private Christian school in town where she was the Head of School for 15 years. She served in this role at the school while increasing her job duties at St. John and becoming the Director of Children’s Ministries. For almost 2 decades Tiffany has led children to Christ and nurtured the spiritual development of her dedicated staff. Starting a school at St. John Lutheran Church has been a dream of hers, and others, for many years!
Mrs. Lisa Moore is the upper elementary teacher. In her almost 30 years of teaching, she has taught all grades pre-k through 5th, has a degree from Georgia Southern University, and her favorite thing to teach is the unbounding love God has for children.
Mrs. Lara Johndrow is the lower elementary teacher. She has a degree from Wayland Baptist University with over 10 years of teaching experience, including mixed grade classes. Her favorite things to teach are reading and phonics, a perfect fit for her class this year.
Mrs. Melanie Garcia and Mrs. Rose Nelson are co-teaching Pre-K. Melanie has 10 years experience teaching, and her favorite classroom (although an outdoor activity) is Mud Day where she includes all subjects in hands-on, muddy fun!
Mrs. Melanie Garcia and Mrs. Rose Nelson are co-teaching Pre-K. Rose specializes in Pre-K and has over 20 years of experience with little ones. She loves teaching Bible stories and chapel, but art is her favorite subject to teach because it’s messy and encompasses all subjects.
How often do people divide by age group in the real world? Not too often! Mixed-age classrooms better prepare children for the “real world,” in which they’ll interact with other people of a range of ages, experiences, and abilities.
