Admissions Process

Admission to Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School is a highly selective process. We want to ensure each student’s success, as well as an appropriate match with the high expectations of our community. Please go to the Admission Inquiry page to complete an inquiry or an online application.

Financial Assistance and Scholarship Process

Saint Joseph’s would love to be able to grant financial aid or scholarships to everyone who is qualified to succeed academically at our school. Unfortunately, available funds are limited and must be reserved to help those who need aid most. Financial aid and scholarships are awarded year to year and are on a first come, first served basis.

We also accept StepUp For Students, McKay Scholarships and Gardiner Scholarships. If your child receives any of these funds, please contact our Director of Admissions, Mary Aperavich, to see if he or she meets our enrollment requirements.

Grade Placement

Appropriate placement is determined during and following the admissions process. Saint Joseph’s utilizes several assessment tools to place your child. If appropriate, placement may be reevaluated in a meeting between the school and parents at the end of any academic year.

Financial Assistance

Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School endeavors to make need-based financial aid

available to qualified students. Financial aid allows deserving students an

opportunity for an independent school education while enabling the School to

attract families and students with varied backgrounds and interests. All

families, regardless of aid, are expected to:

Keep all information about Financial Aid and about the amount awarded

confidential; awards may be withdrawn for failure to comply.
Complete at least 10 volunteer hours per year.
Actively support and donate to the Jaguar Fund.
Assure student participation in athletic programs, arts programs, School

activities, and School events.

All application forms, tax information, and other related paperwork are held in

the strictest confidence. We feel that the success of our Financial Aid program

depends on the confidentiality of financial information.

Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School uses the FACTS Financial Aid Assessment

System when working with families in need of tuition support. After contacting

our Director of Admissions, Mary Aperavich, we encourage families to click on

process. Once that is complete, Mrs. Aperavich will be in touch to discuss

your FACTS results. There is a processing fee of $35.00 that must be paid

directly to FACTS.

Please feel free to contact the Admissions Office if you have additional

questions at (561) 732-2045 or maperavich@sjsonline.org

Testimonials

There is nothing more valuable than word of mouth. Below, you will find just a few testimonials from past graduates. If you would like to share your St. Joe’s experience, please email Rhiannon Aubrey.

"...a very special place..."

“As a graduate of Saint Joseph’s, I am so thankful to have both of my children currently attending the school! I was very fortunate to have completed Kindergarten through 8th grade at the school. I made life-long friends and received a wonderful education at Saint Joseph’s. I love the school! It is a very special place. Generations of teachers remain on staff; my children even have a few of the teachers who taught me. The school has a loving, positive, and supportive culture, which is why so many of the alumni bring their own children back to attend. The teachers care and pay attention to individual needs, strengths, and areas of challenge. I am so lucky to have been a

product of this great school, and now my girls will be able to experience what I did as a child.”

– Sarah Callaway, Class of 1996

"...qualities that will never leave my side..."

“I attended Saint Joseph’s Episcopal School from Pre-K 3 all the way through 8th grade, graduating in 2009. From learning my ABCs with Mrs. Nevad, to excelling in Geometry with Mrs. Pleasanton, Saint Joseph’s provided an environment that has ingrained in me qualities that will never leave my side. Being well-prepared for high school from Saint Joseph’s directly linked into being well-prepared for college. This has allowed me to make the best of my abilities in trying to fulfill my goals to be a multi-business owner, an innovative entrepreneur, and a speech pathologist.”

– Glennon Schafer, Class of 2009

"...a second home to me..."

“St. Joseph’s has always been a second home to me. My sister attends Middle School now, so even though I am a high school senior, I am there all the time, seeing my old teachers and many familiar faces. Members of the St.Joe’s family have come and gone, but their memories live on, and St. Joe’s keeps everyone so well-connected that it seems they never left at all. Now, as I prepare to go to college, the lessons I learned at St. Joe’s – how to grow in faith, be part of a community and achieve the goals I set – live in my heart and will guide me wherever I go. I’ll always be grateful for my St. Joe’s family, who helped me become a positive and confident person. I thrive on the strong connections the school has provided me and will always look forward to visiting and seeing my favorite people.”

– Katie Shaw, Class of 2012

"...more than a school..."

“St. Joe’s was always more than a school; it was a home. Even now, four years after I’ve graduated, I still walk onto campus to the loving embrace of old friends and teachers. I still remember making cookies in Mrs. Pleasanton’s class and listening to Mr. Hill’s old stories. St. Joe’s doesn’t just prepare students for high school; it prepares them for life. I learned skills that have carried me through high school, and now, as I transition from high school to college, I still use all of the lessons I learned at St. Joe’s inside AND outside of the classroom. I miss my St. Joe’s family every day, but they taught me how to be an independent thinker and how to change the world one random act of kindness at a time.”

– Carson Collins, Class of 2012

"...a supportive community..."

“St. Joe’s is not just a school; it’s a family. I’m proud to be a part of a nurturing, loving, and supportive community. I attended St. Joe’s for eleven years, and I can remember my first day with Mrs. Nevad. My teachers, coaches, and friends will always be a tremendous part of my life. St. Joe’s taught me the importance of stepping out of the box by challenging me to do things I would have never imagined. I learned leadership skills and Christian values that have helped me in high school. Mr. Aubrey always made learning fun and memorable. Mrs. Michaelson and Mrs. Reese had the patience of saints, and they always believed in me when it came to Algebra. Coaches Keiper, Fox, and Wideroff taught me the importance of good sportsmanship on and off the playing field. Thank you to all of my teachers for their encouragement and gifts of wisdom. I miss you all!”– Trey DuBois, Class of 2013
