A PK-12 hybrid school grounded in the Catholic faith
St. John the Baptist Hybrid School seeks to provide a nurturing educational environment in partnership with family and church. Our goal is to guide students on a journey of strong faith formation and academic excellence with an emphasis on quality education in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
​
St. John the Baptist Hybrid School is accredited by Cognia as a hybrid program for grades PK-12th with on-site classes on Mondays and Wednesdays with the option to take more classes on Fridays. We strive to maintain high educational standards and guide students in Catholic faith formation. Parents will be provided lesson plans for instruction at home on home learning days. We offer annual testing on site and all standardized test scores will be reviewed with the parents to customize the learning plan for each student.
​
Created by a group of Catholic homeschooling families, St. John the Baptist Hybrid School was formed to serve the needs of our growing hybrid community. We are a non-profit establishment with veteran homeschooling parents on our Board of Directors who are active members in their churches and highly value religious formation in each student. Our Language Arts and Mathematics instructors are certified teachers with many years of experience in education.

Now Offering Classically Catholic Memory
A new Friday-only offering is now available at SJBH!
​
Classically Catholic Memory is a beautifully crafted memory work program designed to be incorporated into a classical approach to education. The program recognizes the natural ability of young students (levels K-6) to successfully memorize substantial pieces of information, the need to exercise this skill, and the importance of filling student minds with beautiful and essential truths during these formative years. Consequently, CCM offers weekly texts across 8 essential subjects for memorization from which the students will build throughout their years of schooling and beyond.
Our Friday enrichment course will provide an introduction to each week’s memory work set in a fun and engaging environment in conjunction with other students. From there, families can and should continue to review the work at home and enjoy the gift and challenge of mastering these texts together. Additionally, we will provide a hands-on activity for the students that corresponds to the science memory work for that week.
Catholic Schola
A schola is a choir dedicated to singing the sacred music of the Church, particularly Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony – the beautiful, multi-voiced music that has enriched the liturgy for centuries.
Our goal is to help young singers develop their voices, learn the treasures of singing the Mass, and explore the rich history of sacred music in a way that is both engaging and formative.
Who Can Join:
· Level 1: Students ages 5 and older who can comfortably read English and can sit through 35 minutes of instruction.
· Level 2: No upper age limit; older children and teens welcome!
About St. John the Baptist Hybrid School
Hybrid School
St. John the Baptist is a unique type of education program which is known as a hybrid program. Our students attend school in a traditional classroom setting up to 3 days per week. Teachers provide the primary instruction in the classroom, create lesson plans, and assign grades. Parents are highly involved, facilitating learning on the days students are at home.
A Blend of Classical & Traditional Education
Our pedagogical approach combines traditional instructional methods while also employing classical methods. Through studying ancient history and classical literature in history and language arts, our students are encouraged to think critically, deeply, and with a moral purpose. Latin is our primary foreign language offered in high school but we also offer alternatives such as American Sign Language, Italian, and Spanish.
Community
Our school families are involved in many ways at church, school, and in the community. Our families are an integral part of the program. Students enjoy fun events throughout the year at St. John the Baptist thanks to our wonderful community. Some of our special events include: Annual Fun Run, Christmas Store, Field Day, and classroom parties. With the flexibility of hybrid schooling, you will often see our families gathering to participate in outside events as a group on homeschool days.
