The teachers and staff work to help each individual child to reach their potential. They talk to the kids about life and the world around them so they are ready to be citizens. Whether it is understanding cultures or math, the kids are ready for high school when they leave St. Joseph's school.
St. Joe's is the only Catholic school for the fast growing north & east Polk county. Students attend from Des Moines & 8 suburban towns, covering 6 school districts. Every student takes Spanish language class twice a week.
