St.Josephs is a wonderful nurturing environment for my daughter and son. I was amazed at all that is offered included in the tuition, a truly excellent school for all faiths.

My kids seem way ahead of peers at other schools. The parents are all involved so its a close community. It is all the way downtown but Macon is 15 minutes from everything anyway so no biggy. Drop off and pick up is easy. About half the price of other private schools. Feeds into Mount de Sales which is an excellent school.

We have been very happy at SJS. Parents are involved. Teachers communicate well. Staff knows us when we walk in. Lots of after school activities, can't do them all. It's a nice atmosphere.

SJS has a very close, family like feel. We have been very impressed with academic success of our daughter. We appreciate the attention from teachers toward her needs. We look forward to future years here and will be disappointed when it is time to move on. SJS has a great reputation and a great downtown location. We recommend to everyone.
