40 Main St
Salem, NH 03079

St. Joseph Regional Catholic School is a Diocesan school serving grades Prekindergarten-8th.

St. Joseph Regional Catholic School is a vibrant Catholic community where students are nurtured spiritually, academically, and physically, enabling them to use their God-given talents to know and model Christ in all that they do.

The educational process is carried out with a deep respect for our Catholic heritage and with an enthusiastic view of each student as a reflection of God`s presence in our midst.

We strive to underscore this identity, and the richness of our Catholic heritage, by offering liturgical and sacramental celebrations where we encounter Christ in a personal and communal manner beginning with daily prayer.

We strive for academic excellence while recognizing each student's unique needs.

In addition to content, we focus on how to learn.

We include media literacy, art, music, physical education and world language classes for all.

While each class from grades PK-8 have interactive whiteboards or smartboards for instruction, there is a fully equipped tech lab with desktop pc, 3 Chromebook carts that can also be checked out by individual classes and grades 7-8 have 1-1 Chromebooks.

We offer extended care for students who need to arrive prior to the school day and for those who need to remain until 6 pm.

Mondays through Thursdays grades 6-8 may stay for homework club at no charge.

We are also blessed enough to have our own chapel, stage, gym, elevator, playground and outdoor learning center.
