We at St. Joseph School participate in the Church's mission of education by providing a Catholic environment of Christian life and learning. We strive to integrate the Gospel values in our daily lives and encourage our students to grow in their relationship with God, in their self-esteem and in their respect for one another.

Recognizing the uniqueness of each child, we strive to provide an educational program, which directs the students to become responsible individuals and prepares them for success in a technological and global society.

Acknowledging parents as the primary educators of their children,

we assist by providing an educational program, which nourishes the faith development of all students. This program endeavors to educate the whole person through religious, intellectual, psychological, social, physical, and aesthetic development.

We value the shared building of a faith community based on Jesus' Command to love one another. Through modeling openness, understanding, acceptance, sensitivity and forgiveness, we hope to inspire the students to become vibrant members of our diverse, multi-cultural society.

We foster apostolic Christian service to deepen the student's involvement in social concerns. We declare with John Paul II in his address to American Catholic Educators that this "powerful experience---will enlarge their horizons, challenge their lifestyles, and offer them authentic human fulfillment". We realize that the extent to which the Christian message is transmitted through education depends greatly on us, the teachers. Therefore, we strive to be persons who integrate faith and life and who are ever willing to work supportively with parents.
