St. Joseph School drives ever forward as a superior rural school blended with our faith. That short phrase capsulizes the essence of our mission in assisting parents to pass on their heritage and God’s heritage to their children.

In our Genesis Program the enrollment is exceptionally positive. Our Pre-3 class on Tuesday and Thursday is at maximum both morning and afternoon - Full! Our Pre-Kindergarten class, Monday/Wednesday/Friday has only 2 available slots left in the afternoon. Our Pre-Kindergarten class Monday thru Friday has 4 available slots. The cost of our Pre-School is set only slightly above a Day Care Center but you receive a learning environment with skilled credentialed teachers. In addition, those children who are at school during the lunch period receive lunch as part of their tuition in our Food Across the Curriculum Program. The food is healthy and children learn to eat a variety of foods that are healthy and nutritious.

The Kindergarten class has 17 children enrolled, and the teacher is the Dean of our Faculty, Mrs. Katie Bragg. She is exceptional. There is an absolute limit in the class of 24 because we do not over subscribe. All classes at this time are on first-come, first-serve basis. Don’t be disappointed.

Our Foundations Program runs from 1st grade to 4th grade. All these children receive healthy lunches as part of their tuition. There are also field trips. An especially captivating one is when we will take the children, with your permission, to Columbus for the day to visit COSI. This trip is part of the tuition. Our school is an atmosphere of Faith but dedicated for broad foundational education. There are classes in P.E., Technology, Spanish, Mathematics, and all those subjects to which you are accustomed. Children all receive instruction from many teachers including art and music.

Our Building Program at St. Joseph is beginning to reach the upper grades called High School Preparatory. These are difficult years for young children as they move from childhood and progress into puberty. Our classes are headed by two mentor teachers of long-teaching experience. Our own parishioner Don May and our primary science teacher, Jennifer Glendenning, are the special teacher guides for these grades.

If your child in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade is struggling in the public schools, consider a change of venue where they will not be lost in a crowd but guided in a particular way. Our two senior teachers will work with the parents to grow the specific talents of their child and help them through the difficult years of transitioning into young adults. In addition, St. Joseph School prides itself on giving the students a moral background based on Faith and a belief in God.

Again, the tuition costs include lunch in the Food Across the Curriculum Program, and the field trip to Columbus. Think of sending your child off to school where you don’t have to be concerned about packing a lunch. We prepare the students especially for high school so that they do not enter that next phase coasting but rather pushing the frontiers of their talent. If your child is coasting, that child is going downhill. We depend greatly upon the support of parents in all of our teachings.
