St. Joseph School-josephville vs. St. Patrick School

St. Joseph School is a Catholic Parish Elementary School set in semi-rural St. Charles County.

We are very proud of our long-standing traditions but have our eyes focused on the future.

Our new school, which is presently under construction, will be ready for the 2009-2010 school year.

Because we educate just over 100 students per year, we are able to offer a 17 to 1 student to teacher ratio.

We believe this gives the children a more personalized educational experience.

Aside from the Core curricular classes, St. Joseph also offers Spanish, Computer, Physical Education and Music to all grade levels.

Because we value the need to develop the whole child, many leadership and service opportunities are available to our students.

These include Student Council, Safety Patrol, the Buddy System as well as the 4H Club.

Our Catholic faith and tradition are central to all that we do here at St. Joseph's.

Saint Patrick School is committed to providing Catholic education to the children and youth of the parish.

This commitment is realized in our elementary school where we strive to be an expression of the mission entrusted by Jesus to the Church.

St. Patrick School believes that every child, created in God's image and likeness, is a unique individual.

In the lifelong process of education, this child grows spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, aesthetically and physically.

We endeavor to foster this growth through our teaching ministry by proclaiming the Gospel Message of hope, peace and justice, taught and lived in a Faith Community, that worships together and reaches out in Service to others.

The mission of St. Patrick School is to provide a quality education in a Catholic environment that promotes love of God, positive self-esteem, personal responsibility, and respect for others and the world around us following the example of Jesus Christ.
