I have been attending Saint Joseph Academy since I was five years old and I have loved every year of it. The teachers and staff are all fantastic and the academics are great. They prepare you for college extremely well and I would recommend the school to anyone.

I love getting to read great books and then getting them discussed. The teachers are friendly and always eager to help. There are lots of fun experiences that they set up so that we have fun. Learning and growing in a small class. A man learns to be a man and a woman learns to be a woman.

Our daughter transferred from one excellent Catholic K-8 school to the SJA High School. The school experience has been even better at this school. Our daughter wishes she had gone here since kindergarten.
