Celebrating 30 Years!

Celebrating 30 Years of Saint John’s School of the Arts

For 30 years, Saint John’s School of the Arts has provided Fine and Performing Arts education guided by the love of Christ. Through music and dance instruction, we nurture creativity, discipline, and confidence in students of all ages within a supportive, faith-centered community.

Over the past three decades, SOTA has grown into a place where artistic excellence and Christian values come together, shaping skilled performers and individuals of character. As we celebrate our 30th year, we give thanks for our teachers, families, students, and supporters who have made this journey possible—and we look forward with gratitude and hope to the years ahead.
