Saint Joseph Academy's philosophy is to guide each young woman as they discover and nurture their individual talents and capabilities in a God-centered environment. We encourage each student to become compassionate leaders and form loving relationships with God, each other and all creation.
We believe the Gospel must be understood and lived in the context of our world, and we attempt to create a climate wherein a student can best become:
A Woman of Faith - A Woman Preparing for Life
A Woman Striving for Integrity - A Woman Seeking Justice
The Saint Joseph Academy community imbues all that we do with the spirituality (charism) of the Congregation of St. Joseph: We live and work that all may be united with God, each other and all Creation. Through a rigorous and relevant curriculum, we develop relationships with each student and seek to stretch them to their fullest potential. We educate our diverse young women for compassionate leadership and service in global society. At Saint Joseph Academy we believe that all students can achieve and become lifelong learners ready for the 21st century.
