Academic Excellence Surrounded by Faith


St. Joseph School provides an academic environment that shapes the social, emotional and spiritual growth of each of our students.  Our program plants the seeds which create a pat of academic excellence beginning with Pre-K3 and going through the 8th grade.

Pre-School

St. Joseph School provides early childhood education with Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and kindergarten classes.  Small class sizes allow for more one-on-one instruction with the teacher and help young students shape positive attituges about their educational journey.  Using a hands-on, multi-sensory approach, children explore the curriculum through small group activities designed for age-appropriate learning experiences.
