St. Joseph Catholic School is a fully-accredited Preschool through Eighth Grade School in the heart of Salem, Oregon.
St. Joseph Catholic School is a parish ministry that teaches the faith, traditions and culture of the Catholic Church as the cornerstone of a solid academic foundation and virtuous character formation.
Saint Joseph Catholic School accomplishes its mission by assisting parents in their responsibility to guide their children towards eternal happiness with God in heaven. A rich sacramental life is available for students, and parents are always welcome to participate with their children. Our focus is to grow the ability of our students to think, reason, and communicate well in pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful. Our school atmosphere is safe and nurturing, with an emphasis on the importance of being respectful to others, providing service to others, and developing self-discipline.
Students are actively engaged through the use of a variety of instructional methods and emerging technologies that promote collaboration and higher-level thinking skills. We believe each child is a unique gift, who requires loving guidance, encouragement, and individual attention in all the areas of life. We look to our parents to participate in the life of the school to ensure it is a continuation of family life.
