Shaping Lives.
Teachers are one of the most influential people in your child’s life. Understanding this responsibility, we’ve brought together an incredible team of leaders and role models with extensive experience and credentials. Each brings a deep commitment and passion to the classroom and are dedicated to nurturing, inspiring and helping our students reach their full potential.
A critical component of St. Joseph’s success is our in-person, learning environments. Our teachers develop curriculum and activities to engage, encourage interaction and cultivate student collaboration. With optimal classroom climates and a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum our students achieve greater academic success.
St. Joseph’s commitment to our students physical, mental and emotional needs takes precedence during the pandemic. Our teachers understand the need for adaptable, flexible leadership and are also sensitive to the challenges that parents are facing. We’ve taken a collegial approach to closely monitor our student’s well-being and academic performance to ensure they continue to receive the education they deserve. With controlled classroom sizes and a high teacher to student ratio than other schools, our teachers are more in tune and able to be more responsive to student needs and challenges.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is quoted as saying, “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor”. We continue to encourage our students to rely on their faith and help foster resilience, stress management and positive relationship building. There’s no better time than now to help our students put these life skills into practice.
