Our children have finished their 2nd year at St. Joe's. We LOVE this school! We wish we started here instead of transferring them from another Catholic school on the east side. I highly recommend this school for those who want personal attention and an open door policy from a catholic school!

We are a new family to the Joliet. We interviewed several catholic schools, but we kept coming back to St. Joe's. The staff and principal made us feel welcomed, and didn't mind answering any questions we had. The first day of school was excellent! My children woke up to a sign in our yard from

The security and safety of the students are on high priority. The before & after school program is excellent. I can drop off my kids and they can have a decent breakfast for $1 or leave them after school where they receive a snack, do homework, work on community service projects and get exercise. I have been blown away by this tiny school. I surprised they are not filled to the rafters! Read less

Raffle tix must be sold or purchased, as well as the requirement to purchase two dinner dance tickets per year. They do offer before school and after school day care for us working parents. Read less

My children are the fourth generation of students from our famly attending there and I must say that due to the excellent teaching and support staff as well as a loving, nurturing and Catholic envoirnment, St. Joseph has more then
