As a parochial school, education is based on the mission of the Church to form her members to proclaim the Good News and to translate this proclamation into action.

This, St. Joseph School hopes to attain by creating a school community permeated with Gospel Values that support an educational program reflecting creative and critical thinking, self-awareness, interpersonal skills and Christian faith and life.
