History

On January 25, 1962, St. John Vianney Catholic School opened with grades 1-4 under the leadership of Mrs. Marie Zinell and three lay women.  On August 24, 1963, the school moved into a new phase of its development under the leadership of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia.  For forty years the school has undergone many changes to meet the spiritual and academic needs of its students in an ever changing world.

St. John Vianney Catholic School has grown from a four-room school to a twenty-one-room building with an expansive campus, which we share with St. John Vianney Parish.  The school has reached its maximum enrollment with seven hundred students.

St. John Vianney Catholic School is accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference and is recognized by the Florida State Department of Education.  All teachers are certified by the Florida State Department of Education.  Our curriculum exemplifies the best teaching practices, which allow us to Educate the Mind and Expand the Heart of each student!
