School Notes Overview:

St Joseph Elementary School is committed to Catholic religious foundation, especially one that is true to the Magisterium. Our entire program is instilled with a moral, ethical, and spiritual dimension that is based upon the traditions and teachings of the Catholic faith. We pray and worship together. Where appropriate, we receive thorough preparation for reception of the Blessed Sacraments. We welcome and respect students and families of other faith traditions and hope that their presence in our school will enrich their understanding of our faith and encourage them to serve God more fully in their own Church. The school has small class size (our target is 20), low student-to-teacher ratio (7:1), positive discipline, enriching after-school programs (art, computer, rosary-making, music, tutoring), classical, traditional curriculum, high test scores, and modern computer lab. We strive for academic excellence aligned with tradition of the Catholic Church....
