Hold onto your hats because the excitement is about to take off! At Saint Joseph School, our Elementary and Middle School students are in for an exhilarating ride. And let me tell you, it's one wild journey!
Once our students hit Grades 5 through 8, they dive headfirst into a whirlwind of Departmentalized Classes that cover English Language Arts, Math, Religion, Science, and Social Studies. But hey, school isn't just about textbooks and exams – it's about crafting the complete, well-rounded student of the future!
We're not just waving our hands; we're fully aware that we're a community with a big responsibility. We're in the business of preparing our youngsters for the adventure called life. The Archdiocese is on board with us, embracing The Common Core Learning Standards to help our students shine in college and career success.
Saint Joseph School, a 2010 National Blue Ribbon School, in alignment with the The Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of New York Pathways to Excellence Plan, we embrace high educational standards and have demonstrated outstanding academic performance, as demonstrated by standardized testing, Archdiocese Testing, and our 8th Graders admissions and scholarships to highly competitive Catholic High Schools.
At SJS, our academic excellence is only surpassed by our unwavering commitment to our Catholic identity. Our teaching dream team is armed with mad skills, ready to tackle the needs of every student, no matter how diverse they may be. We're pros at informal and formal assessment and always tweaking our teaching methods based on rock-solid data.
