Teachers of Pre-K (4) - Grade 5 are supported by Instructional Assistants. Student/Adult Ratio - 13:1

BEST PRACTICES: St. Joseph School recognizes the importance of educating today's learners. Best practices accompanied by state-of-the-art technology enhance student understanding of fundamental skills. Technology allows students to apply their knowledge and skills in a variety of medium across all subject areas. A strong langauge arts program incorporates phonics, literature, grammar, spelling, writing, vocabulary development and reading. Math enrichment classes, including algebra, are offered in Grades 6-8. Reading specialists, math tutors, speech therapists, and counselors are available.
