School Notes
Our Mission
St. Joseph School inspires spiritual growth and
learning about God, oneself, and others within a caring Catholic
faith community. In partnership with parents, we provide a dynamic
academic experience that empowers students to recognize and use
their God given gifts.
Our Philosophy
St. Joseph School is committed to educating the
whole child. Recognizing each student as a unique individual, we
prepare them spiritually, academically, socially, and morally to be
active participants in the world. Providing an environment rooted
in Catholic tradition, we cultivate intellectual challenge,
character development, and the desire to serve in the local and
global community. We seek to inspire the heart, mind and soul of
every child.
Our Focus
Teaching the Whole
Child
We foster lifelong learners who are spiritually
active and socially responsible citizens of character.
Our experienced teachers recognize each
student as unique and honor their individual learning
style
Spirituality is developed through
participation in prayer, liturgy, and the sacraments.
Students participate in service and outreach
to help make them aware of the needs and opportunities for
assistance in their local and global communities.
In addition to our state certified classroom
teachers, highly qualified specialists instruct students in art,
music, technology, and physical education.
To further enrich the learning experience,
enrichment courses - art, choir, band, Spanish, drama, speech, and
robotics - are available to middle school students.
Academic
Excellence.
Our Washington State certified teachers
emphasize a core curriculum of language arts, literature,
mathematics, social studies, science, and religion. Technology is
integrated into all subject areas.
Our academic excellence is reflected in our
strong IOWA Test scores. We consistently rank higher than 95% of
schools across the nation.
Ours LARS Program (Language Arts, Arithmetic
and Reading Support program) provides additional reading and
mathematics support to our students.
Small class sizes create the best learning
environment for students.
Class sizes range from 18 to 22 students which
allows teachers to work with small groups. Instructional assistants
provide additional classroom support in grades K-5.
Supportive
Community.
St. Joseph offers an extraordinarily committed
staff and parent community.
Strong teacher-parent collaboration enriches
the educational experience and community feeling.
All families enrich our environment by
volunteering within the community. Activities include: working in
the classroom, coaching CYO sports, leading Scouts or the Chess
Club, helping in parish ministries, and coordinating school
events.
We offer extended care before and after school
and bus service between campuses.

My son attended St. Joseph School from preschool through 8th grade, then went on to graduate from Eastside Catholic School as an Honors Student. We found the community of St. Joseph School to be friendly, welcoming and nurturing throughout the years. The administration and staff worked hand in hand with parents to ensure the success of every student, and though the experience wasn't without its "bumps" at times, the overall outcome for my son and our family was extremely positive. The education my son received at St. Joseph School prepared him well for the rigorous academic expectations of Eastside Catholic; and he developed life-long friendships that he continues to foster through his college years. As a parent, I was involved as a volunteer and enjoyed the camaraderie with other parents over the years, many of whom remain close friends. I would definitely recommend St. Joseph School if you are looking for a close-knit community, small class sizes and a quality Catholic education.

With so much uncertainty in the world today and a pandemic further confounding our lives, it's reasonable for parents to want to protect their children whenever and wherever possible? But overprotecting or bubble-wrapping? Well, that's another matter.
The average private school tuition in King County, WA is $17,489 for elementary schools and $20,954 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
