It starts with academic excellence in an environment that
teaches each student to go beyond the ordinary. Our
graduates consistently receive the highest rankings in high school
and beyond. Our school is fully accredited by the state of
New York, and students receive standardized test scores that are
consistently higher than national and diocesan averages.
The true value of our education goes far beyond core academic
learning in English, language arts, mathematics and science.
Dedicated to the moral and educational development of every child,
our teachers strive to nurture our students` academic and personal
best.
When you send your child to SJS, your family becomes members of
a special community. Like your children, your family will be
enriched by being a part of this community. We are empowering
today`s children to tackle tomorrow`s world with ethics, wisdom,
empathy and respect.
We teach the whole student in an enriching environment that
embraces respect, responsibility, and community through exploration
and discovery.
SJS consists of a two-story facility, that houses a gymnasium,
a gross motor skill room, specialty instruction classrooms for

Center make it a convenient and well-utilized campus.
During the school day, students of all ages have multiple
opportunities to participate in classes such as physical education,
computer lab, art, and music.
With an extraordinary staff dedicated to teaching, nurturing,
and caring for your children, our teachers continue to expand the

The fallout of the economic and financial meltdown of 2009 was far reaching. Private schools did not escape the consequences either. But that may be a good thing for you.
At last we have a dedicated phone number for suicide and crisis support. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is 988. More about it and suicide prevention here.
School shootings and other emergency situations won't happen in your school, right? Who knows! Better to put in place the steps necessary to protect the school community than to be caught unprepared.
