Testimonials

The Longmore Family // Three Children

My children have attended Sts. Joseph and John School since they were 3-years-old. The Preschool Program was a blessing and a very rewarding experience. The teachers and staff are amazing, faith-filled individuals that genuinely care about the growth and development of each and every child. My children enjoyed the daily projects and introduction to an abbreviated ‘big kid’ school day. They were also always excited for holiday celebrations and special themed days. We were confident that they were going to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually in Kindergarten and beyond. Currently, they are 4th and 2nd graders and still have many precious memories from their SJJ Preschool journey

The Lenahan Family // Five Children

We had the privilege of sending all five of our children through the preschool program at Saints Joseph and John School. We planned on going to Strongsville public schools, with one about two minutes from our house. All of our kids had such a wonderful experience that we decided to continue at SJJ, and it has been the best decision. The preschool staff created such a welcoming and caring atmosphere. Even when one of our kids had a little trouble separating, they patiently reassured and comforted her for however many times was needed before she was soon excited for the next day. Much of the day involved social interactions with peers and other adults, focusing on making learning fun, while leaving plenty of time for play. From singing and dancing to praying and listening to stories, the kids were always actively engaged. We would recommend the SJJ Little Vikings Preschool Program to anyone looking for a clean, safe, and loving environment for their children’s first school experience.

The Kolesar Family // Two Children

We had two children attend Sts Joseph and John Preschool and highly recommend the program for its unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing and faith-based learning environment. The dedicated staff, led by Mrs. Bosko, fosters not only academic development but also instills essential values rooted in the Catholic faith. The curriculum seamlessly integrates religious teachings with early childhood education, creating a holistic approach to a child’s growth. Parents can trust that their little ones will receive personalized attention, building a strong foundation for both academics and spiritual development at the SJJ Preschool Program.

The Waggoner Family // Four Children

The Little Vikings Preschool program has been an amazing start for all four of my children’s school careers. Mrs. Bosko and Mrs. Franz are so welcoming and genuinely excited to see the kids; it puts any worry at ease! My child comes home proud to share his learning accomplishments and happy about the friendships being made. The program offerings vary and grow to meet the needs of current families including a 3-day/full day Pre-Kindergarten class. I am grateful for the new option to help further acclimate my child for continuing social and academic success in full time kindergarten. Preschool years will always be some of my favorites largely due to the wonderful, caring staff and the family atmosphere they create!

Justin Dzik ’97 & Tina Dzik Family // Three Children

The SJJ preschool program has been a very special part of our family over the last 10 years. The program provided all three of our children, who are currently in 6th, 4th, and P4 at SJJ, a wonderful start into their journey of school, Catholic faith, and the SJJ community. When introduced to Mrs. Bosko and the preschool team, our entire family immediately felt loved and supported, and we continue to feel that way each and every day at drop off and pick of our youngest son in the P4 program. Our children love being a part of the SJJ community and are thriving in their development of being a whole student, filled with faith, education, and hope for the future. The SJJ preschool teachers and program have been such an important part of our family, and we are forever grateful for the strong foundation of faith, love, knowledge, and community which all began for our family as soon as we entered the preschool program at SJJ!

Mrs. Estephan // Teacher

Catholic education is a blessing to our students, families, and to our staff! I chose the privilege of being able to include the Catholic faith into my daily lessons because it is not only my job, but my vocation in life. I am so proud to say that not only do I work at SJJ, but that my own children attend as well!

Sophia // SJJ Class of 2023

SJJ is an amazing school and community because of all of the kindness I experience every day. SJJ offers lots of different after school programs and CYO sports as well, this makes school fun and helps you to get involved with the school community. SJJ gives me the opportunity to learn new and interesting things every day and helps me to grow and know the importance of being kind to one another and this is influenced by all of the great teachers and students. SJJ helps me to strengthen my faith and have the ability to go to Mass every week as well. SJJ has always helped me to grow every day.

Maxwell // SJJ Class of 2022

There are a lot of things that I like about SJJ. The entire SJJ community is like a family with all of the house meetings and fun activities. All the teachers are very creative and helped us through Covid. Even with Church we get to live stream it through our classroom. All the sports teams are close too, especially the cross country team which I participate in. Overall SJJ is an amazing school and I’ve had a great time going here.

Sarah // SJJ Class of 2021

Sts. Joseph and John School has given me the opportunity to advance my knowledge not just in my education but also in my spiritual life.  The teachers’ dedication and commitment has provided a strong understanding in all aspects of education and in my Catholic faith.   In my time at Sts. Joseph and John, I have built friendships that have made my experience at SJJ more enjoyable and memorable.

The Wilder Family

Sts. Joseph and John is more than just a school. To us, SJJ is a community. Our children are building strong friendships and developing lifelong skills that are not just based on their studies. These are skills that provide the foundation of the well-rounded young men we hope and pray they would become.

The Reagan Family

Thank you, Sts. Joseph and John, for a great school experience for our family. My kids love school, the teachers are passionate about what they do, and the families are a close knit, supportive community. SJJ focuses on the spiritual, educational, and personal growth of each student. There is no place we would rather be.

The Arms Family

Sts. Joseph and John School has been a wonderful academic and faith-filled experience for our two children. We chose this school for so many reasons, but what stands out most is the sense of community we have felt since day one. The dedication of the teachers and staff is seen daily, and this positive involvement has helped our children grow both academically and socially. As parents, it’s amazing to hear how much our children love their school!

The Panteck Family
