Goals

Spiritual: To enable and encourage each person in this school community to develop a love of God through an understanding of the Catholic faith and to apply this learning to one's own spiritual and moral formation.

Intellectual: To develop academic growth within each student's own capacity for learning.

Psychological: To develop in all students the awareness of their intrinsic value and God's unfailing love for them, which will enable them to treat with respect each person they encounter.

Sociological: To enable the student to become an active, responsible member of society by reflecting the principles of Christ.

Physical: To instill the importance and value of a healthy body within an environment where students develop and appreciate their own physical talents and those of others.

St. Joseph Parish School is a vital ministry of the Church. Recognizing parents as the primary educators, with the support of the Church and school community, we are dedicated to continuing the mission entrusted by Christ to His Church. We believe each child can learn and grow to be a successful and morally strong adult. We commit ourselves to educating the whole child in an environment conducive to spiritual, intellectual, psychological, sociological and physical growth. Through the message of the gospel our school reinforces Catholic Christian values of dedication, love, respect and service, thus building a faith community which worships God. St. Joseph School encourages its students to become active disciples, aware of their responsibilities to God, Church, family, society, and self.
