School Reviews

We've been a part of St. Joseph for 18 incredible years! We enrolled all 3 of our sons at St. Joseph for Pre-K through 8th grade. Our family will forever be grateful for all of the love, dedication, and lessons learned from the wonderful faculty and administration. The foundation instilled in my boys has served them very well in high school and college and most importantly, for life. The curriculum taught here prepares them for any college prep high school they will advance to. Students are very well rounded and not just fed STARR testing requirements. HIGHLY recommend!

My family was enrolled at SJCS for 10 years, 2 kids, K-8. Can't ask for a better foundation for your kids! Teachers are involved, curriculum is strong, and spiritual development is in everything they do. SJCS is more than a school... it's a family. Highly recommended!
