No testing is mandated for kindergarten entrance, but screening is done prior to the start of school to evaluate physical development, ability to listen and follow directions, along with fine and gross motor skills.

Monthly payment of tuition commences with the June payment. The annual tuition will be reduced by $35.00 if payment in full is received BEFORE July 1. We want to assure you that every effort was made to keep tuition rates at a manageable level while maintaining the quality of our children's education. Recognizing that any increase in tuition can create difficulties, we remind you that St. Joseph offers families the option to pay tuition in ten (10) monthly installments beginning in June. We believe that our tuition rate compares favorably with that of other parochial and private schools in this area. We urge any family that has special circumstances or hardships to discuss them with their pastor, who will help find ways to make a Catholic education available to all who appreciate its value. If you are looking for way to reduce your tuition costs, please check into our Grocery Certificate program. You will earn tuition credits by purchasing grocery certificates!
