At St. Joseph’s School, we are firmly rooted in the timeless traditions of the Catholic faith and the Church’s rich liberal arts approach to education. Our mission is to guide each child to know, love, and serve God and neighbor; to discover and embrace their God-given vocation; and to pursue excellence in every aspect of life—academics, extracurricular pursuits, and the cultivation of virtue and leadership.

In these challenging times, we believe our mission is more vital than ever for Catholic and like-minded families in the Willamette Valley. We strive to build a school culture that is both safe and welcoming—one where students are encouraged to live fully and freely, inspired by the words of St. Pope John Paul II, "Be not afraid".

If this vision resonates with you, we invite you to visit us. We would be glad to arrange a tour so you can experience firsthand the vibrant and faith-filled community we are building at St. Joseph’s School.

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.
