About our School

Welcome!

     Our Philosophy at St. Joseph's is centered upon educating "the whole child" - physically, mentally and spiritually.  Catholic school education has always been strong in Auburn, and we are proud to continue in that fine tradition.

 

Curriculum for Success

Pre-School

     Our three-year-old and four-year-old pre-school programs give children a promising start to their academic career.  Three-year-olds attend the Tuesday and Thursday program for two and one-half hours.  The four-year-old program runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with afternoon classes available if enrollment is sufficient.

     Your children will be taught Christian values as well as small and large motor skills and an introduction to reading skills by caring, certified teachers.

Elementary

     Our challenging curriculum incorporates New York State standards of instruction and assessments in a framework guided by our Christian values and beliefs.

     "Integrated learning" is the phrase that best describes our elementary program.  Our teachers in the elementary department work together to ensure that the work they do lays the groundwork for the next grade as well as reinforcing what was learned in previous grades.

Middle School

     Our excellent middle school curriculum prepares our students to meet the challenges of higher education.  Students are taught the organizational and study skills that will enable them to succeed in later education.

     The middle school students participate in Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, Ski Club, Yearbook, Social Activities, and Modified Sports in the Auburn School District.

 

 St. Joseph School students enjoy...

     Field trips, a music program, art instruction, physical education, computer instruction and a full-time Learning Assistance Instructor.

Committed, Compassionate, Qualified

     Describes our Faculty.  Our dedicated teachers are NYS certified.  Our faculty strives to teach each student with respect to the individual.

 

Character Development

     The development of the individual is important.  Religion class is taught daily, and we offer opportunities to participate in Mass and Prayer Services on a regular basis.  The teachings of the Catholic Church are integrated into all aspects of learning.  Our children are taught self-respect as well as respect for others.

 

Parents As Partners

     Parental support is an essential element at St. Joseph School.  Parents are considered important partners with teachers in the success of their child’s education.  Family support of fund-raising activities is a crucial component of our school life.  More than tuition dollars are necessary to fulfill St. Joseph’s goal of excellence in education.
