The St. Joe’s Way

There has been 100% buy-in from both students and teachers. Otherwise, it won’t work. There is also a very unique “Longevity and Legacy” factor. Teachers stay. Some stay for 40 years. 3 generations of the same family have attended. Families form lifelong bonds with each other. Most of the parents actually volunteer at school events. Students actively help each other, support each other and strengthen each other. It’s very rare. 

Kids come to St. Joe’s as early as 16 months, and graduate at 14. They learn all the top curriculum. This is a place where 5th graders present Powerpoint presentations on a stage with a microphone in front of 200 people. They are taught how to speak (no slang allowed) read, write and act at a very early age. But they are also taught respect, trust, integrity, caring for one another and living a God centered life. Graduates will tell you they were educated and nurtured for life.

There is a strong belief that an educated man or woman will thrive in the real world. This amazing school follows a proven methodology. Everyone holds each other accountable, maintains high standards, has a trust, helping each other to grow beyond academics, service to the community, doing and living what is right and taking pride in themselves and each other. For 6 decades, graduates have been taking this message back into this community – and beyond. It’s the “St. Joe’s way”
