Academic Excellence
We provide a well-rounded education for our students. With smaller class sizes, our children receive more one-
on-one learning and attention from their teachers and peers. This fosters an environment for students to
thrive. We pride ourselves on a loving, disciplined, and structured learning environment to build a strong
academic foundation for lifelong learning for both Catholic and non-Catholic students alike.
Moral and Ethical Development
St. Joseph Catholic School emphasizes values like compassion, integrity, and social responsibility. We also
teach children about the importance of community and service to others within the community of York, as
well as the world around us. We celebrate the Holy Mass daily, which presents a Catholic world view to our
students that is based on Catholic Church teachings, Scripture, and traditions. While rooted in Catholic
teachings, these values are universally beneficial and applicable to individuals from diverse backgrounds. These
values also benefit our children in their decision making throughout life. The integration of faith and values into
the curriculum allows students to explore ethical questions and develop a moral compass. The emphasis on
virtues such as honesty, kindness, and justice contribute to forming well-rounded individuals who can navigate
the complexities of the modern world.
Strong Sense of Community
We pride ourselves in a strong sense of community that extends far beyond the classroom. The St. Joseph
Catholic School families are a close-knit and supportive community comprised of diverse backgrounds with
similar familial foundations. These shared values and commitment to our children and community are
conducive to positive growth and learning. We also have an established group of individuals, the Home &
School Association, whose main goal is to bring the school and parish families together through different events
throughout the school year. We are dedicated to supporting and building this phenomenal community!
Character Formation
We focus on character formation by teaching our children to be kind, responsible, good people who care for
themselves and their community. Beyond academic achievement, we focus on nurturing qualities such as
morality, resilience, perseverance, and empathy. All children, whether Catholic or non-Catholic, benefit from
this valuable formation!
Tuition Assistance
St. Joseph offers tuition assistance programs and scholarship funds. We will not turn any child or family away
because of financial need. We are here for you!
