We are thrilled you are considering St. Joseph School for your child. We are a faith based community grounded on the premise that we serve God by serving others, cultivating excellence in mind, body and spirit. At SJS, you will find a strong community of parents, teachers and students supporting each other in this mission.

We do not typically take in new students after January 1st or mid-year. This is done ONLY under certain circumstances and per the approval of the principal/pastor. This is not a regular practice.
