How to Apply
Find out why Saint Joseph Academy is the right choice for you! Two things that make us unique are the all girls environment and our college block scheduling. In an all-girls school, you are encouraged to explore and develop your abilities, talents and interests without any distractions. We guarantee a commitment to a learning environment that places girls first and foremost. Our faculty and staff have an in-depth understanding of how girls learn and succeed. This does not mean that girls cannot compete in a coed world or that a healthy social life is not important. It does mean that a young woman can find her own academic and personal strengths in her own way, time and place. At Saint Joseph Academy, girls not only have equal opportunity, but every opportunity!

Please use our record release form, located in the right column on this page, to direct your school records to our Admissions Office. This form should be completed and then forwarded to your current school's principal's office. Once these documents have been received, the Director of Admission will contact the student to arrange an admissions interview. The student's application is evaluated by the Admission Committee using the criteria as stated above.

While we are flexible with the transfer application deadline, we recommended that transfer students apply by May 1 to transfer in the academic year that begins that fall to increase the timeliness of receiving an admission decision, transfer credit information, and course registration information. -
