I have had a good time at SJA. They have given me opportunities that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else.

SJA is a great school to send your daughter to. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful from as soon as you walk in the door to your last year as a senior. Saint Joseph Academy is known for being an all-girls kind of school, and they stand by that.

I enjoy the amount of support that I am given from all of the faculty and staff members. Saint Joseph Academy is a place where you don't have to be afraid to be who you are and are accepted with open arms. There are difficult classes but they only prepare you for what's to come in college. Besides your traditional academics, there are many different electives that can be taken such as photography, graphic design, engineering, and so much more to give the students an opportunity to explore and engage.
