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.
In June 2025, we launched our Early Learning Acceleration Program for 2K and 3K summer campers. For the second year, this program is nurturing and enhancing early brain development during a critical period of rapid growth.💫
Led by licensed speech language pathologists, this program is designed to encourage curiosity, confidence, and independence for all campers.💙
Even the youngest Knights benefit greatly from our approach. We encourage you to look on our website for more information about our fabulous early education program at SJS!✝️

Jesus Christ is the foundation of our school.✝️
At SJS, the religion curriculum instills an enthusiasm for living the Catholic faith, with prayer, the sacraments, and service at the core.
Our Knights are invited to live out their faith not only privately but together as a community. We are always looking for new ways to incorporate the liturgical calendar and celebrate feast days, and shared prayer opportunities like the New Year's Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus build spiritual camaraderie between students and faculty.
This past year, we held our first Eucharistic Procession from the church to the schoolyard, allowing everyone to witness the Real Presence of Christ in downtown Macon.💙
We are committed to the flourishing of our students' minds and hearts. If you want to learn more about Catholic education, visit our website or email admissions@sjsmacon.org.✝️
