Our Mission

St. Joseph School, as a ministry of the parish, forms the hearts and minds of children through the example of Jesus Christ. We provide a dynamic academic experience and cultivate spiritual growth, in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church. We do this to empower our students to recognize and use their gifts for the good of God's Kingdom.

Our Philosophy

St. Joseph School is committed to inspiring and educating the whole child. Every student is formed in God's image and we recognize each as a unique individual. Partnering with parents, their first teachers, and set in a parish environment rooted in Catholic Tradition, we prepare them to be spiritually active Catholics, lifelong learners, person of character and socially responsible citizens. Therefore our studetns will be fully alive as the presence of Christ in our world.

Our Focus

  • Our experienced teachers recognize each student as unique and honor their individual learning style

  • To further enrich the learning experience, enrichment courses - art, choir, band, Spanish, drama, speech, and robotics - are available to middle school students.

Academic Excellence.

Our Washington State certified teachers emphasize a core curriculum of language arts, literature, mathematics, social studies, science, and religion. Technology is integrated into all subject areas.

  • Our academic excellence is reflected in our strong MAP Test scores. We consistently rank higher than 95% of schools across the nation.

School Reviews

5  
My son attended St. Joseph School from preschool through 8th grade, then went on to graduate from Eastside Catholic School as an Honors Student. We found the community of St. Joseph School to be friendly, welcoming and nurturing throughout the years. The administration and staff worked hand in hand with parents to ensure the success of every student, and though the experience wasn't without its "bumps" at times, the overall outcome for my son and our family was extremely positive. The education my son received at St. Joseph School prepared him well for the rigorous academic expectations of Eastside Catholic; and he developed life-long friendships that he continues to foster through his college years. As a parent, I was involved as a volunteer and enjoyed the camaraderie with other parents over the years, many of whom remain close friends. I would definitely recommend St. Joseph School if you are looking for a close-knit community, small class sizes and a quality Catholic education.
