Why Give?
Why give? Tuition alone cannot cover the cost of educating our students. Like other private schools, we rely on the generosity of the Saint Joseph Academy Community to help maintain and improve our school. Currently 12% of our budget is derived from our fund-raising efforts. The key to our continued success is the participation of all our families doing what they can to make Saint Joseph Academy a great school for kids.
