Promise
Individuality flourishes here. The Saint Joseph Academy experience provides an awakening to faith, mind and the world. Each young woman develops compassionate leadership skills and forms loving relationships with God, each other and all creation...that all may be one. John 17:21
This is the place to become "a better me."

Our Philosophy

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

 ...who, knowing the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church, commits herself to a growing relationship with God and others and to a life of service in imitation of Jesus Christ. Rooted in prayer, nourished by the sacraments, and guided by Scripture, she shares in the ongoing creation of the world.

A Woman Preparing for Life

 ...who is developing her talents and potential which enable her to analyze, interpret, and interact critically with her environment and others in a creative and confident manner. Her positive shaping of the future requires physical and emotional well-being, as well as communication which is empathetic and resourceful.

A Woman Striving for Integrity

...who is learning to deal with herself and others with honesty, gentleness, and respect. She believes that her direction comes from within and that she is responsible for her own destiny. She seeks balance through the interplay of mind, body, and spirit and finds meaning through experiencing life's beauty, sorrow, and joy.

A Woman Seeking Justice

 ...who is acquiring the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to become effective in creating a more just world order. She is developing a critical consciousness, enabling her to reflect on society and its values, and to choose actions that will promote the mutuality of all human beings.
