River John is part of the Chignecto Central Regional School Board and is served by River John Consolidated, a Primary to Grade Nine school, located in the community, and neighbouring Northumberland Regional  High School.

The Nova Scotia Community College offers distance education through its Virtual Campus and in person through the Stellarton and Truro locations. There are several Nova Scotia universities offering online and distance education. If you do not have a computer, or if you have a slow rural internet connection, use a free high speed computer at the River John Library and Innovation Centre. If you are looking for independent learning, try the Virtual Public Library or stop by your local library.
