Growing Girls With Heart
Your daughter will grow up to be many things. Her early education needs to balance all the elements of who she is and who she will become: matters of the mind, body and spirit. We believe she can achieve anything and overcome any challenge – if she puts her heart into it. In the St John’s D.S.G. Junior School, our incredible teachers are here to guide girls as they grow. Facts and figures are classroom classics, but character is evolving.
