St. Joseph’s Academy
St. Joseph’s Academy is a Catholic, all-girls, college-preparatory high school, sponsored by St. Joseph Educational Ministries, that was founded and inspired by the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Since 1840, the Academy’s mission has been to provide quality Catholic education to young women in an environment that challenges them to grow in faith, knowledge, and respect for themselves and others through a blend of rigorous academics, exposure to the arts, competitive athletics, and a variety of service opportunities. St. Joseph’s Academy develops values-driven women leaders and expects them to make a profound impact in the world.
St. Joseph's Academy offers a challenging curriculum featuring honors, college credit, and Advanced Placement courses that prepare students for the rigors of college and beyond. A variety of organized sports and clubs also enhance student development – all of which are reflected in our school motto, “Not I, But We.” Nurturing intellect, talent, and a passion for service, St. Joseph’s Academy shapes young women in profound ways.
