CURRICULUM:
|
The Mount St. Joseph Academy curriculum reflects our strong commitment to academic excellence in a gentle nurturing environment. In addition to the traditional core subjects of reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies, students explore the world of the arts and technology. Foreign language which begins in Kindergarten is also emphasized at the Mount.
Each child has unique gifts and talents waiting to be affirmed and developed. Working together in partnership with our families, the MJSA faculty and staff strive to insure that each child in our school values learning, is happy and self-confident, and celebrates their childhood.

CLASS SIZE:
We take the responsibility of preparing our students to be successful citizens very seriously. No two children learn alike.
At Mount St. Joseph Academy, we limit our class sizes so that teachers have time to support each student and respond to each child's learning needs. Because of this we recognize that no two children learn in the same manner. Our average student to teacher ratio is 12 to 1. As a result, teachers can support the academic, social, emotional and physical progress of each student on a daily basis. Most importantly, no child goes unnoticed. Each child is fully known, supported and encouraged.
We encourage a visit to the school to meet with the administration and tour the facilities. To arrange an appointment or if you have questions please call us at 716-883-1515 or email us at information@msja.org.
