OUR PHILOSOPHY and CULTURE
SJS actively recognizes that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our school. Our strengths lie in our growing enrollment, diverse community of families, and varied student body. SJS remains steadfast in its commitment to nurturing our valuable students, helping them reach their abilities, and guiding them to become individuals of unwavering integrity. Within the SJS ethos, we embrace the uniqueness of each person and cultivate their diverse intelligence, striving to develop holistic individuals while fostering a foundation of Catholic Identity, Service to Others, Academic Excellence, and Social-Emotional and Physical Well-Being. Aligned with the Archdiocese of New York's Pathways to Excellence, we maintain a forward-looking perspective while cherishing our rich legacy.
Our Mothers' Club and Men's Clubs play a pivotal role in supporting SJS' objectives, providing a wealth of resources that enrich our curriculum through various avenues, including hands-on service projects, immersion in the arts and technology, excursions, and both in-person and remote engagements with reputable professionals, addressing an array of religious, academic, and social objectives.
OUR ROBUST CURRICULUM
Rooted in the core tenets of our Catholic Faith and Sacrament Preparation, our curriculum encompasses a wide array of subjects, including Reading, Grammar, Vocabulary, the Writing Process, Mathematical Thinking, Reasoning and Calculations, Scientific Inquiry, Geography, Social Studies, History, Physical Education, Music, Graphic Arts, and much more.
Our innovative GEMs Program (God, Emotions, and Mindfulness) provides confidential and personalized remote support to students and families seeking social and emotional growth and learning assistance. This initiative was introduced in response to the pandemic, anticipating the heightened need for supplementary support.
St. Joseph School facilitates Progress Monitoring and Differentiated Instruction throughout all grade levels. Our meticulous data analysis informs the creation of Individual Learning Pathways tailored to each student's needs. We integrate various computer-based Blended Learning experiences across all subjects, including The Learning Odyssey, IXL, Language Nut, Pearson Online, Fast Forward, and more.
Furthermore, we offer Italian for grades 5-8, American Sign Language from Pre-K to Grade 4, and a revitalized music program to enrich our educational offerings.
OUR FACILITY
Nestled within the tranquil Village of Bronxville, SJS graces a verdant and lush campus.
In 2020, our esteemed Best in Class Committee took the lead in orchestrating a $750,000 renovation initiative, which notably included the establishment of a TRAC (Technology, Reading, Art, and Computer) Center as well as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Laboratory. This State-of-the-Art Facility now provides an immaculate and contemporary learning environment, boasting enhancements such as Promethean Boards, LED Lighting, and comprehensive air conditioning.
Our unwavering dedication to enhancement and innovation aligns with our school community's aspirations, which places great value on our partnership with parents, recognizing them as their children's primary educators. We stand ready to listen, collaborate, and provide a top-tier education for your child. Join us at our School of Innovation, firmly rooted in the bedrock of Catholic Values and Academic Excellence.
