Rating 5 out of 5 5 reviews
Our family has been a part of St. Joseph School for the past three school years. During this time, we have witnessed the passion and dedication of the teachers, staff, and administration to promote an environment of innovative learning, community, service, and a foundation of faith. From day one, we were welcomed and embraced with the SJS Lion Love! St. Joseph School has been the best decision for our children's education and preparation for success in this ever-changing world!
The curriculum is more challenging, and our kids (K and 5th Grades) are so happy and engaged. It truly is a well-rounded education that helps the children grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Our kids' teachers are true rock-star teachers, and we're so grateful for them. Father Rossi is wonderful with the kids! He has a way of engaging with the kids in a way that they listen, understand, and are entertained. Last week for Catholic Schools week, he put on a Lion costume (the school mascot) to visit the kids at school - they cracked up and loved it! The front office staff and the principal, Mrs. Owens, are so warm, friendly, hardworking, kind, compassionate, and dedicated. We felt welcomed and immediately felt at home there. Another thing we love about the school is how diverse it is - yet we all share a common devotion to giving our kids the very best education and environment, so it's been a lot of fun to get to know the other families at school events and field trips.
I am so grateful for St. Joseph School. We entered into this special community when my children hit middle school, and it was exactly what they needed. A loving, academically-focused school where God is a part of every day. Teachers truly care, administrators are readily available for anything you may need, and I feel that my children are better equipped for high school because of the rigor and high standards. Thank you SJS for filling a special need in our community. It is worth every penny.
