Shadow Day

Shadow Days are for prospective students whose families have completed a school tour. Students interested in learning more about St. Joe’s are invited to schedule a Shadow Day to experience a day in the life at St. Joe’s. Your child will be paired with a current classmate and will attend classes, meet new friends, and be introduced to faculty and staff.

Why Choose St. Joe’s?

St. Joe’s is a special place. Our School-Wide Learning Expectations are an integral part of defining the school’s purpose. The five expectations are Spiritual, Academic, Citizenship, Social, and Physical. At St. Joseph’s it is the belief that a well-rounded person should possess all five of the traits outlined in the SLE’s. The SLE’s relate to St. Joe’s purpose of creating a student who can be a productive member of the Church and society. We believe that helping students to strive for achievement in all SLE areas will further their success beyond St. Joe’s.
