Our curriculum stimulates the intellectual capabilities of curiosity, reasoning, questioning and creativity.  We recognize that our complex, rapidly changing technological society will require more than recitation of facts.  We emphasize communication and teamwork skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Our school's newly established Science Lab with equipment and material for all grade levels from Pre-K to Grade 8 for hands-on learning and experimentation.  The fully-equipped library has updated books on various topics and encyclopedia for research.  Integrated Technology supports learning throughout the school; every classroom is equipped with wireless internet and a smart board in addition to ipads/chromebooks for each student. 

Before and after school programs are available for students, where help is offered in homework instruction.  Younger students engage in playful activity.

OUR GOALS ARE:

• To provide a rich educational experience that will encourage creative and independent thought.

• To emphasize basic communication skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening.

• To allow our students to progress at their own rate according to their ability and provide them with challenges.

• To provide an environment that encourages socialization and group interaction.

• To develop attitudes of social cooperation and moral responsibility through interpersonal relations and Christian service.

St. Joseph's is an accredited school by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools providing rigorous academic training, a comfortable, safe environment, and a faithful example of Christian values.

St. Joseph's is a great place to learn. We are open to all who want a fine education, regardless of race, color or creed. Our small class size allows not only individual attention, but an opportunity for close relationships between students and teachers.

Through diversity we achieve unity. Our student body, although quite diverse in culture and religious background, blend together to form a school where our students can all learn, grow and respect one another. We celebrate our unique talents and backgrounds. One common denominator all our student share is a commitment to developing not only their minds, but a well-rounded respectful attitude.
