Cultivate
St. José is fundamentally different from traditional schools. We offer “beyond the classroom” instruction with a Catholic worldview. No bells ring, there are no lectures. We encourage all students to be curious, independent, and lifelong learners.
Empower
Students create a community through fellowship and navigate their own learning. We prepare our students to pursue their passions through a blending of hands-on multidisciplinary learning projects and relevant technology resources that deliver tailored academic content.
Thrive
With time reserved for personal and spiritual development, the arts, and outdoor activities, St. José offers a personalized, comprehensive approach to educate life-long learners.
Saint José Luis Sánchez del Rio is a strong and brave saint. Saint José was a young boy who stood up for people to be able to love God and the Church freely in Mexico. He wanted to be a soldier, but was too young to fight; instead, he was allowed to carry the flag. Even when times were scary for Saint José, he always said the rosary, prayed for the enemy, sang songs to Our Lady of Guadalupe, and was known to proclaim, “Long Live Christ the King!” Saint José was full of courage even when he was in pain, and he allowed the love of Jesus to be the most important thing in his life.
Dear Lord,
Help me to be courageous and steadfast in my devotion to you. Help me to identify causes and injustices in my day that are worth defending and standing up for. Give me perserverance and a deisre to help others at any cost. Help me to revere Christ as the king of my life.
Saint José Sánchez del Rio,
pray for us. Amen.
