Saint Joseph School Overview

---

 

St. Joseph School is proud of a tradition of excellence. For over 85 years that excellence has been evident in all of its academic programs and in the development of faith in everyday living. As a private Catholic Christian School we offer a sound alternative to the education provided by the public sector.

The priority of the staff is to develop the self worth of each of our students. We accept each child as an individual and we foster the necessary values, discipline and learning that will guide our students in their search of the future as loving and active members of a parish and community.
