Saint Joseph School is a K-8 Catholic educational community, which has served generations of families in Meriden and surrounding towns since 1915. Our caring and dedicated staff creates a welconing family atmosphere and prepares students to meet the future with a foundation of faith, knowledge and values. Understanding the challenges faced by families, we provide each child with the opportunity to reach his/her potential emphasizing the two great commandments of the Church: Love of God and Love of Neighbor. Saint Joseph School is a community in pursuit of academic excellence through a lived experience in faith. The dignity of every person and the importance of shared responsibility for the good of all are the goals toward which we strive. We educate the whole child – spiritually, socially, academically and emotionally. Saint Joseph School exists for the education of the child as he/she relates to God, to the Church, and to himself/herself and to the communities to which he/she belongs. We accept each child as he/she is – a unique and cherished child of the Father, redeemed by Jesus Christ. Academically, standardized test scores continuously place Saint Joseph School students 2+ years above grade level.
