St. Joseph Catholic School is a pre-K through grade 8 school set in semi-rural St. Charles County. Our school community is very proud of its over 150 year history/tradition of Catholic education in Josephville. In August of 2009, we opened a brand new school. This modern facility offers state of the art technology but still retains its rural, small school charm.
We believe our small school setting gives the children a more personalized educational experience. Aside from the Core curricular classes of Language Arts, Mathematics, Religion, Social Studies and Science, St. Joseph’s also offers Spanish, Computer, Physical Education, Art and Music to all grade levels.
St Joseph has a certified science teacher on staff who uses a hand-on, inquiry-based approach to teaching science topics. Our full-time learning consultant works with students individually or in small groups to meet additional learning needs. Our learning consultant is trained in the Wilson Reading System and uses this program to assist students.
At St. Joseph School we value the need to develop the ‘whole child’. We offer many leadership and service opportunities to our students including: House of Faith and Works Virtues Program, Student Ambassadors, Safety Patrol, Flag Bearers and the Buddy System. All students grades K-8 are required to perform community service throughout the year as well. Additionally we offer First Lego League after-school program to our students.
The Catholic faith and its Traditions are central to the identity of St. Joseph School. The children attend Mass daily and take part in the Sacraments regularly. Eucharistic Adoration is observed on a weekly basis and we pray an all school Rosary each month.
Come on out to Josephville and see us some time! If you listen closely, you might even hear the children running to the sound of an antique recess bell clanging in the distance.
