St. Joan of Arc Elementary School

Someone once said, St. Joan of Arc is Nashotah s best kept secret. It is a secret no more that this school is the best of the best, from its dedicated, caring staff to the academic excellence it upholds! As a licensed Reading Specialist, I believe it to be the best place for our children to grow and learn and continue to be challenged. After touring many schools, we ve found just the right place for our family! -A. Tjugum

We have two children at St. Joan of ArcParishSchool. It is nice to know our Christian faith is being reinforced every single day, and our children s academic growth is being held to a high standard. The staff and families of St. Joan of Arc take great pride in the school and are extremely committed to making sure every child has a well rounded experience in a loving and safe environment. For all these reasons and more, St. Joan of Arc truly is an exemplary school! -Brian and Stephanie Gilmore

My older brother graduated from SJOA in 2007; I graduated in 2008. After attending this Catholic grade school from 5K-8th grade and moving to a public high school, we both realize that an education without God is incomplete. We noticed the difference immediately. If we only learn about the things God made, including us, without learning about the One Who made them, our education is incomplete. The spiritual development we received at St. Joan of Arc was so strong, it makes us want to share what we feel with all the new friends we ve made in high school. Thank you SJOA! -Nathan Hills

What a wonderful School. The best kept secret in Lake Country. We researched this school extensively last year. Their State Standardized Test Scores were off the charts (both WKCE and ITBS) in addition they received Exemplary Recognition from the Wisconsin Religious and Independent Schools Accreditation (WRISA). We were was sold. We enrolled our 5 year old in the Kindergarten program and have never been more pleased. The school is more than a community of parents and teachers, it is more like a family.

'Our first year at SJOAParishSchool has been amazing! Throughout the four years of our two oldest children attending public schools, we always felt that there was something missing. There is a sense of true pride and community at SJOA that we have seen nowhere else. You can find group activities, volunteer opportunities, and make friends at any school, but at SJOA the relationship between faculty, parishioners and parents come from a common goal to guide, inspire and educate the children. It is a wonderful feeling, to be able go off to work confident that our children are safe and happy, gaining fundamentals in education AND values and morals they would never have received in public school. To pick them up each afternoon and hear the excitement in their voices when telling us what they have learned is priceless!' -Delmita Sarajian
