About 

Developing students' faith, minds and bodies in the spirit of St. John Neumann

St. John Neumann Catholic School (SJNCS) was established as a parish school in 1981, serving Preschool (PreK 3) through 8th grade. We are a state-of-the-art school building equipped with a sophisticated innovation lab. SJNCS offers a rigorous academic curriculum as well as extracurriculars, including a strong athletic program.

Our curriculum is designed to meet the spiritual, intellectual and physical needs of the students. SJNCS believes that children are individuals created in God’s image. Thus, integrated throughout the curriculum, respect for self and others is taught and lived, in order to promote students’ development into self-disciplined, productive, moral members of society.
SJNCS provides a demanding, yet well-balanced education with a strong emphasis on faith and academic formation. Innovative trends in technology, STREAM, and best practices for individual student success are integrated throughout the disciplines at SJNCS. Our innovative curriculum incorporates a low student-teacher ratio, STREAM, Robotics, and Digital Design paving the way for the future of Catholic education. There is a commitment to the teaching of Catholic values in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment while promoting academic excellence. Teachers are State of Florida certified and exceptionally well qualified to teach in their field.  Over half hold advanced academic degrees.  
At SJNCS, we pride ourselves on academic excellence, and our graduates go on to excel in Catholic high schools, reputable private preparatory schools, and MDCPS magnet programs.
Service is at the root of our values, therefore SJNCS also encourages and provides opportunities for our students to serve others through our service initiatives, including monthly service projects, as well as Altar Servers, Lectors, and other community needs that arise throughout the year.
In addition to our academic programs, SJNCS provides extra-curricular activities and services such as our after-school sports program and a variety of clubs including Art Club, Cooking Club, Science Club,  Preschool Motion and Movement Club, Eagles Wings Musical Ensemble, and Homework Club.  SJNCS also partners with a fine arts program. Through this program, students are offered after school lessons in Ballet, Dance, Languages, Chess, Cheerleading, and Jiu Jitsu.
