Library skills, computer instruction, music, art, and physical education are part of our curriculum.  Spanish will be taught in K5-8th.

What does St. Joseph Catholic School have to offer that is not available in the Public School System?

Yes, all our teachers are certified in either South Carolina or in another state that the Diocese recognizes as requiring comparable standards.  The  PreK program is certified through DSS.
