THE ST. JOE'S DIFFERENCE
We educate the whole child:
St. Joseph Regional Catholic School provides a complete education designed to challenge and motivate all students to reach their full potential in mind, spirit, heart and body (mission statement).
Every student who enters our doors practices faith with daily prayer, religion class, including but not limited to, practicing the monthly virtue throughout their day.
Every student from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade also learns the basics, fundamentals, and conversational Spanish. All students Pre-Kindergarten to 8th grade have physical education, art, and music classes. Grades K-8 have library/media arts as well. Jr. high students utilize chrome books as needed in class.
We attend mass twice a month. Our students participate in adoration and reconciliation in our school chapel.
We have smaller class sizes in grades PK-2:
Our smaller class sizes allow teachers to fully engage each student. Our dedicated teachers are committed to the success of our students. In addition, our students are able to form long-lasting friendships.
We bring our students together:
We have a long-standing buddy program here at St. Joe's. We bring 8th grade students together with a 1st grade buddy. We also pair 7th grade students with a Kindergarten buddy. The buddies participate in fun activities throughout the school year. They also attend monthly mass together. We enjoy watching these students learn and grow together!
We come together as a student body in our gymnasium for Spirit Week, the annual talent show and spelling bee, Christmas show, and to pray the rosary.
Students in different grades participate in activities such as earth day, field day, and spirit week. They also go on field trips together.
We offer after school programs:
We offer many options for after school. For the sport enthusiast, we have basketball, volleyball, track and cross country. We have Soccer stars for the younger students. If your student is not into sports we provide Robotics. Our robotics team competed in the NH State Championships this year. In winter, we have a ski program. We also have a theater program provided by Acting Out.
We have a before and after school program (SOAR):
SOAR is available for working parents Monday - Friday from as early as 7:00am and until 6:00pm in the evening.
SOAR summer program is also available.
We have a strong community:
We are so thankful for our amazing parents and volunteers who help out with school and community events, extracurricular programs, athletics, field trips, and classroom events. These events result in our families making long-lasting friendships.
Our parents and school community gather together every spring at our annual Gala for an evening of fun and festivities!
Families are welcome and encouraged to attend school masses.
We prepare our students for the future:
Our students continue to go on to the many public, private, and Catholic high schools in the area. Our students are fully prepared for high school in all academic areas. They are also prepared in terms of research and presentation skills through our annual IIM research project, Science and Spanish fairs.
"Inspired by faith and guided by wisdom, our children soar!”
