A St Joseph High School education is an incredible investment in your student's future. We are not a high school; we are a college preparatory school. We are focused on the future, emphasizing 21st century skills. Our curriculum is project based, our research-oriented facilities are tied to the world coming at us, our technology is integrated throughout the school. We do not ask the elementary school how far did you get. We ask the college admissions office what do you need, and commit ourselves to getting you to that level.
This is a special place. A place where you join a family whose membership never expires. This is a community of people that will care for, nurture and remember your children. This is a place that fills in the missing holes that a regular high school does not provide. Things like faith, respect, consequence, discipline, kindness, generosity, philanthropy.

I never seriously considered sending my children to a private high school. I could not justify the added expense. [However] this is a community of people that will care for, nurture, and remember your children. This is a place that fills in the missing holes that a regular high school does not provide... Forget everything you think you may know about a catholic private high school because this place does not fit any mold. Read more from Cindy Andrezjewski's speech at Accepted Students Night 2019!
The SJHS Financial Aid Committee asks all families (new and returning) to complete a financial aid application if they would like to be considered for financial aid. FACTS determines the potential dollar amount that a family can contribute based on a calculation of family income and expenses. This process assists the financial aid committee follow a fair objective process when determining need based awards.
Yes, every family must apply for financial aid each year. However, one may expect to receive the same proportion of aid if the family's financial circumstances remain essentially the same. A significant change in a family's financial profile may result in a change in the financial aid package offered.
New students who complete a financial aid application by November 17, 2020 will receive their financial aid award letter with their acceptance package sent via mail in mid-December 2020.
Returning students will be notified of their financial aid award with their tuition agreement sent in early May 2021.
Financial aid will not be guaranteed to those who submit a financial aid application after the deadline. The financial aid committee will determine if funds are still available to support an award on a rolling basis.
