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.
