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.
🌱Spring is on the horizon! The Creation Keepers began meeting last week to work in the school’s raised beds and greenhouse to plant, water, and care for seasonal vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
🌷The Creation Keepers is our newest service club for Grades 2-5—a hands-on gardening and sustainability club! Activities are simple, supervised, and designed to connect children with the rhythm and joy of the natural world.
This club introduces students to the basics of home gardening using regenerative practices like cover crops, minimal inputs, and minimal herbicide use. These methods take patience and a little extra labor, but they give kids a real sense of ownership and reward for their work.☀️
All of our after-school activities are FREE and made possible by our generous Presenting Sponsors and Community Partners. We are so grateful.✨💙

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of MarieKristina Stanley Waite, who was "Ms. Stanley" to us when she previously taught 2nd Grade at St. Joseph’s.🤍
As a 2nd Grade teacher, Ms. Stanley had the profoundly special task of preparing our Knights for their First Holy Communion. Her kindness, compassion, and love will be remembered by all.
You can celebrate the life of Ms. Stanley tomorrow, March 7, at the Banister-Cooper Funeral Home: 678 N Main St, Hiawassee, GA. Visitation will be from 12-2 PM with the funeral directly following.
Please join us in praying for Ms. Stanley, that she and all her loved ones may be enveloped in God’s abiding love.🕊️

His grace, mercy, and all good things…💙
Fr. John tells us to be like Queen Esther when we are afraid—"ask for help."
"When we are scared, we turn to the Lord and ask for help to be brave," Fr. John said during his Thursday Homily. "We need to pray for the things our family needs. Ask the Lord for his grace, mercy, and all good things."✝️
We are so grateful for your spiritual leadership, Fr. John.🙏
