- TOUR – Schedule a tour today! Our rolling admissions process began on October 1, 2025, and we’re excited to welcome new families. Use the “Tour Now” button in the sidebar to book your parent visit. Students do not need to attend the tour appointment.
- APPLY – After your tour, scan the QR code in your admissions folder or use the private link emailed to you to schedule your parent interview and student pre-screening. This 30–45 minute appointment includes a parent conversation with Ms. Alvarez, Principal, and a student pre-screening with Mrs. Alba, Assistant Principal.
- COMMIT – Shortly after your interview, you’ll receive an acceptance or waitlist notification. Families offered admission will have two weeks to confirm their spot by submitting the non-refundable tuition deposit, which will be applied toward the first tuition payment for the upcoming school year. Once your deposit is received, your child is officially a St. Joseph Knight!

School Student Non-Discrimination Policy
The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.
