John Nowlin Elementary School

Overall I have very to say about this school. Mrs. Gempeler is one of the best of all time. My kid is always excited to go to school.

Our kids have attended PHCA for over 7 years and we love it. Small environment where my kids feel seen and heard. Every teacher knows them by name and cares about them. They get to play the sports they love and have lots of leadership opportunities. The new administration team is excellent and bringing some wonderful changes. Biblical worldview teaching is excellent.

I feel like this is a great school for any type of family. I have gone to this school since I was in Pre-K and not only have I seen my peer grow beside me but I have also seen myself grow throughout the years. though we are a small school that doesn't mean that we don't have big ideas. I am currently attending the middle school and I love all my teachers and my classmates. I am in alot of extra curricular things that the school provides such as sewing club and volleyball. i truly feel that every one is welcome everyone is very accepting of everything. since we are so small most people don't want to send their children here at an older age, i feel that all the newer kids fit in perfectly with the older kids. the curriculum of all our subjects exspecialy math prepare you for highschool and beyond. I have an older sister who now is a senior at St. Micheal the archangel in Lee's Summit and two cousins who re now in college who still use what they learned hear in classes and in every day life. even if you are not catholic st.johns gives a great education of all religions in Social Studies and Integrated Catholicism in middle school. we are also very good at getting people ready emotionally for the world students in middle school have the choice to enter a group session with the counseler for a few weeks during lunch most of my friends are in it and I have notices changes in their attitude and problem solving skills. you can also have one on one sessions with the counseler if feeled needed by you, one of your peers, teachers, or guardians.
