THE PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION OF ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC SCHOOL
 

We believe that Catholic Schools should provide, through example and instruction, a community in which students experience faith and hope that witness the Gospel values of Jesus Christ.  The school staff must continuously seek to educate the whole child and, with compassion and care, respond to the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child, while honoring their diverse learning styles.  Using developmentally appropriate and solid pedagogy, children should be stimulated, encouraged, and inspired in the acquisition of basic skills as well as a desire for life-long learning.  The faculty and staff of St. Joseph School believe that Catholic education has as its aim to prepare students to become responsible, contributing members of society through faith, knowledge, and self-discipline.
