Overview
A qualified and dedicated faculty and staff in both the pre-school and the elementary school educate children in environments that supports, encourages, and nurtures spritual, intellectual, social and personal growth in the Catholic tradition.
Saint Joseph School is fully accredited and continues to provide quality Catholic education to Saint Joseph Parish and many surrounding parishes and communities.
Saint Joseph School is a nurturing Christ-centered community where the mission of Jesus, as understood and experienced in the Catholic Church, is our primary focus.
We encourage our students to develop a deep love of God, neighbor, and self.
The faculty and staff believe that a supportive academic environment will help to develop self-confidence, pride, fulfillment, and a desire to strive toward excellence.
The Eliot-Pearson Children's School is the laboratory-demonstration school affiliated with the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University.
The school serves as a model and demonstration facility, providing a training and observation site for new and experienced teachers and a research facility for faculty and supervised students in the Department of Child Development.
First and foremost we aim to create a quality, nurturing experience for all children and their families.
In addition, as a lab program we are involved in the ongoing training and supervision of our graduate teaching assistants, student teachers and field workers.
By creating a quality early childhood experience for children, we are providing a first-hand example of excellence to our adult-student participants.
In addition, a great deal of time is spent providing further training through supervision meetings, team meetings, and workshops/discussions throughout the year.
Everyone on our staff takes professional development very seriously. It is one of the benchmarks of excellence in this program.
