Admissions - Overview
St. Joseph School is a Catholic School. Our reason
for existence is to provide a quality education within the context
of the Catholic faith. We believe we can support parents in the
religious formation of their children, but never replace them. We
give the highest priority for admissions to families who hold values
and goals consistent with the Catholic Church through commitment to
their parish.
During the registration period, students will be prioritized in the
order below. Any students not placed by the end of the registration
period will be placed in a non-ordered waiting pool. Applications
received after the registration period will be placed in the pool.
As openings arise throughout the year, all applicants in the pool
will be re-evaluated and re-prioritized, according to the schedule
below, at the time of each opening.
