St. Joseph’s Catholic School provides a challenging PreK2 through six grade curriculum, developed by the Diocese of Savannah that is based upon both national and state standards.
Our beliefs that stem from core values that are central to our faith and serve to ensure the success of our students as they become productive citizens of the world.
We offer numerous extracurricular activities to enrich a child’s education and enable him to be a well-rounded individual with a diverse set of interests.
St. Joseph’s Catholic School, a private school located in historic downtown Macon, Georgia, offers a Christian education of the highest quality to children of all faiths in grades Pre-K2 through 5th. The faculty and staff partner with our parents to provide the best educational experience for the children. St. Joseph’s Catholic School affords a balanced yet challenging academic curriculum that integrates faith, culture, and life. Our students are taught to be responsible, independent, and enthusiastic learners.
St. Joseph’s Catholic School strives to build a strong academic foundation beginning with our preschool program. Our preschool offers children age two through four with a loving environment where they can learn, grow, and play. During the elementary school years, SJS continues to foster learning in a diverse environment that embraces a collaborative approach with parents. Students are taught in a variety of learning models where they are encouraged to be creative thinkers, problem solvers, and active leaders. St. Joseph’s Catholic School provides a seamless transition to Mount de Sales Academy where the Sisters of Mercy legacy continues with the right balance of academic rigor, faith-enriching programs, and extracurricular activities.
Preparing students to be future leaders is the signature of a St. Joseph’s education.
We love this article by Carrie Jane Williamson—Superintendent of Schools within the Diocese of Savannah—in this month's edition of SOUTHERN CROSS. Williamson writes that "Catholic schools serve as the largest evangelizing arm of the Church," which is so important to our mission at St. Joseph's. Schools, she says, have the responsibility of "shepherding young people to discover that faith and learning are mutually inclusive, equipping the next generation with tools not simply to change the world, but to transform it with the love of Christ."✝️
This idea also reminds us of the motto on our mind this year:
PRAY. LEARN. PLAY. LOVE.
🙏Prayer comes first—always.
🕊From that foundation, we can learn and play every day with our sights set on God.
💙As a result, we are able to love each other better and become more like Jesus!

If you think a St. Joseph's education is out of reach for your family, this post is for you!✝️
Have you heard of the Georgia Promise Scholarship Program? If accepted to this program, your child will receive $6,500 toward private school tuition EVERY YEAR from now until they graduate high school. This scholarship may also be combined with other forms of tuition assistance at SJS!🙏
Applications are open for this program—and they've already granted $370,000 in assistance for an 2026-2027 SJS education!
Do you qualify for the Georgia Promise Scholarship Program?
⭐️Most Bibb County residents—and those in many other parts of Middle Georgia—qualify based on public school zoning
⭐️Your student must be NEW to private school. Any current public school student in any grade is eligible, as well as those entering Kindergarten (even if they attended private preschool!)
⭐️Proof of income is NOT required to qualify
⭐️Younger siblings of scholars will also receive priority acceptance in future years!🥳
There's a very strong chance that your family qualifies for this wonderful program—there's no catch, and no reason not to apply. Visit mygeorgiapromise.org to apply today and make St. Joseph's a reality for your family!💙🙏

Fr. Vincent's recent Thursday Homily inspired us all to "make good use of the graces God gives us each day."✝️
"He gives us His grace to do good. To be merciful," Fr. Vincent said. "That's the way we should live as people of God."
Thank you, Fr. Vincent, for encouraging us to turn our hearts and wills toward Jesus.🤍

Happiest of birthday wishes to Mrs. Taylor, Administrative Assistant extraordinaire!💙🥳⭐️
Mrs. Taylor is the engine behind so much of the magic at SJS. You can find her putting her heart into everything she does—serving students, parents, and faculty. She's not afraid to work hard, laugh hard, and love hard. Mrs. Taylor been on staff for less than a year, but we can't imagine SJS without her!
We hope you have a beautiful year full of many blessings, Mrs. Taylor!🕊✝️
