"As a reflection of the mind of God, the human mind deserves our deepest respect and most careful nurturing. Together, we create a community of learning where students can develop their abilities and find encouragement and appreciation for their diverse gifts. Our curriculum prepares students to function successfully in a complex society, to act ethically, and to confront injustice in the contemporary world".

North Central Review and Evaluation of St. Joseph’s Academy 2007
The North Central Review and Evaluation of St. Joseph’s Academy is completed.
Over the last five years, the faculty of St. Joseph’s Academy has been involved in continuous school improvement. The faculty chose four areas of concentration with regard to continuous improvement.
Writing Across the Curriculum
Awareness of Geography and Culture
Reading: A Life Long Habit
Technology and Application to the Classroom
On April 24th a visiting team of educators came to our campus to evaluate our school improvement plan in these four areas. The visiting team commended us in all four areas and agreed that we indeed have made improvements. We have been recommended for continued accreditation through the State of Missouri. St. Joseph’s Academy has been accredited by the North Central Association since 1922.
