Saint Joseph School is to nurture the spiritual and academic growth of our students by challenging them to embrace the Gospel message, to achieve full academic potential, and, as Catholic Christian citizens, to make a difference in our school, our community, and our world.
The faculty of Saint Joseph School views each student as a unique individual created and redeemed by God with the potential for becoming a more responsible Christian who, by witnessing the values of our faith, will promote peace and justice in today's society.
The philosophy of Catholic Education formulated by the Diocese of Harrisburg is the base upon which our own school philosophy rests.

Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
