Welcome to St. Joseph's School

Dear friends and visitors,

Thank you for your interest in St. Joseph's School. Founded in 1949, we are a fully-accredited (MNSAA) Catholic parish school, serving children in Preschool through grade 8.  We are located in West St. Paul, Minnesota and serve students and families from the surrounding areas of West St. Paul, Mendota Heights, St. Paul, South St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights, and Eagan. 

Our mission statement calls us to educate students through faith formation, academic excellence and the development of virtue to be disciples of Christ. We honor this mission and our heritage in the Roman Catholic tradition by providing students with a strong background in religion, morality, virtue and responsibility. 

We are dedicated to excellence in academic instruction across all grade levels.  Our low student-teacher ratio reflects our commitment to providing a learning environment that is both challenging and supportive to all types of learners.  We offer an array of creative, athletic and spiritual opportunities to complement each child’s educational experience and provide further opportunities for growth and development.

Our community and school are successful because of the teachers, staff and families who work together to ensure every child has a positive learning experience.   It is this partnership between our school and your family that is the key to your student’s positive growth and development.

Every child deserves the gift of a Catholic education.  I invite you to visit us and discover the difference at St. Joseph’s School.

May God bless you and your families.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Greg Wesely
Principal
