St. Joseph's Parish School

My son started at St. Joes for 3k. He was in an in-home daycare before this. We toured one other daycare and he clung to me the entire time. The first time we walked through the doors at St. Joes I knew it was a special place. My son explored on his own and made himself right at home. I thought we would eventually move to public but we are actually moving my 2nd grader to St. joes. The fact that kids can arrive at 8:00 and burn energy till 8:15 is a huge plus to me. With that 15 minutes kids get 55 minutes of outside time daily. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and my (now) 4ker is excelling. My 2nd grader starts next week and I could not be happier. I love that the school goes through 8th grade. Middle school starting at 5th grade makes me nervous. That's when everything changes and I want to keep my babies little for as long as I can. The older classes help younger classes and that is such a beautiful dynamic. I love the Christmas and spring concerts and enjoy being able to celebrate holidays in school.

We have loved being part of the SJPS school. It's been a wonderful experience. We have 3 children in the school currently. The extracurricular activities offered, the caring teachers, the catholic education, and the community of school families are just the highlights of why we love SJPS. The teachers really meet students where they are academically and emotionally. The teachers educate students on academic excellence and emotional intelligence.

You can't ask for more in a Catholic school. It lives up to its Catholic identity in how it approaches the uniqueness of each student. Your child will be known by name by every person in the school. Your child will have a tailored educational experience that will accommodate any special needs and challenge your child in areas they are gifted. Small class sizes, faith-based curriculum, service, multi-grade interactions, art, Spanish, music, and sports - it's all impressive for a school of this size. Do yourself a favor and take a look!

I have 2 children, one who has graduated from SJPS and one who currently attends school there. I can not say enough about how wonderful the teachers her are. Every teacher knows every child in the school and is willing to help whatever the need may be. Classes are sized so that one-on-one teaching is not only possible, but occurring every day. Teachers, faculty, administrators and other families are warm and welcoming, creating a "family" environment. This is a top notch school that I am proud for my children to attend.
