St. John Evangelical Lutheran School

603 Mccleary St
Dowagiac, MI 49047
St. John's Lutheran School is an educational and mission arm of St. John's Lutheran Church.
Its purpose is to aid parents in the obligation to bring up their children in the "training and instruction of the Lord", and to heed the Lord's command of making disciples of all nations.
At St. John's Lutheran School, our children are taught by a professional staff of divinely Called teachers and a pastor who have been trained to provide a thorough, well-rounded, Christ-centered education.
A St. John's education will build a solid foundation for a student spiritually, academically, physically, and emotionally through daily instruction in the Word of God and other academic subjects.
For this reason our education is a Lutheran education rather than a private one.
