St. Joseph Curriculum

St Joseph School follows the Archdiocesan policies regarding curriculum. The curriculum of St. Joseph School is approved by the Missouri Non-Public Accreditation Association and is aligned with national and state standards in each subject. St. Joseph teachers utilize methods of best practices when teaching the curriculum.

We believe our small school setting gives the children a more personalized educational experience. Aside from the Core curricular classes of Language Arts, Mathematics, Religion, Social Studies and Science, St. Joseph also offers Physical Education, Art and Music to all grade levels while integrating technology throughout the curriculum with a Chromebook for every student in grades K-8.

St. Joseph has a certified science teacher on staff who uses a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to teaching science topics. We also have a certified middle school math teacher on staff who teaches math to grades 5-8.

At St. Joseph School we value the need to develop the ‘whole child’. We offer many leadership and service opportunities to our students including: Student Ambassadors, Safety Patrol, Flag Bearers and the Buddy System. All students grades K-8 are required to perform community service throughout the year as well. Additionally we offer Tae Kwon Do as an after-school program to our students.

The Catholic faith and its traditions are central to the identity of St. Joseph School. The children attend Mass twice weekly and take part in the Sacraments regularly. Eucharistic Adoration is observed on a weekly basis.
