I am so glad my family is part of the Saint Joe's Needham family! This is our 4th year at Saint Joe's Needham and the growth I have seen from my kids is unmatched. The school does a wonderful job partnering with families in the education of our children while also excelling at individualized education. The community is just as incredible as the school. Thank you Saint Joe's Needham!
