Reasons Why Families Choose
St. Joan of Arc School

  1. Proven Academic Excellence
    Our students consistently achieve test scores in the top 15% nationwide across all subjects. SJA has earned the National Blue Ribbon School recognition three times for academic excellence, reflecting our commitment to high academic standards and student achievement.

  2. A Strong Foundation for High School and Beyond
    We prepare students for success beyond eighth grade through rigorous academics, high expectations, critical thinking, and the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in high school and beyond.

  3. Faith at the Center of Every Day
    Catholic identity is woven into daily life at SJA. Through religion classes, prayer, worship, service opportunities, and the example of our faculty and staff, students are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and live out Catholic values.

  4. A Safe, Welcoming Community Where Every Child Is Known
    From preschool through eighth grade, SJA is one school and one family. Our staff members know students personally and value each child as a unique individual—not just a number in a classroom.

  5. Dedicated Teachers and a Whole-Child Approach
    Our teachers and administrators are committed to helping every student grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. A collaborative approach brings together educators and support professionals to understand each child's needs and help them succeed.

  6. Personalized Instruction and Reading Support
    Instruction is differentiated to meet students at their individual ability levels. Our reading program includes the Amplify curriculum and full-time certified reading specialists, helping students strengthen essential literacy skills and receive support or enrichment as needed.

  7. Innovative STREAM and Technology Programs
    Our dedicated STREAM Lab gives students opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on learning with robotics, coding, and 3D printing. With 1:1 technology in grades K–8 and SMARTBoards in every classroom, students learn to use technology purposefully while maintaining a healthy balance with traditional learning methods.

  8. Leadership and Opportunities to Get Involved
    Students have opportunities to develop confidence, responsibility, and teamwork through student government, the eighth-grade daily news show, athletics beginning in fifth grade, and service projects that allow students to put their faith into action.

  9. A Strong Support System for Every Learner
    SJA takes a team approach to student success, bringing together teachers, administrators, and support professionals to address each child's individual needs. On-site speech therapy three days a week and dedicated academic support help students access the resources they need to grow.

  10. A Values-Based Education That Develops the Whole Child
    Beyond academics, SJA emphasizes character, personal responsibility, respect, and Catholic values. Our caring environment, consistent expectations, and school uniforms help foster a sense of belonging and encourage students to become thoughtful, confident, and compassionate young people.
