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.
St. Joseph’s Catholic School is both proud and grateful to announce that Mr. Brian Kelsch is our new Principal!🙏 We are especially delighted to announce this today, the feast of our patron, Saint Joseph!💙
Mr. Kelsch brings to St. Joseph’s both a deep formation in Catholic education and extensive experience in diverse leadership roles. He is currently completing the Remick Leadership Program at the University of Notre Dame. A competitive and rigorous Catholic school leadership program with spiritual formation at its heart, the Remick Leadership Program equips a select cohort of aspiring principals with the skills and expertise required to lead Catholic schools at the highest level. Mr. Kelsch will earn an MA in Educational Leadership from Notre Dame prior to assuming his role at St. Joseph’s.
Mr. Kelsch will take over the role from Mr. Sills beginning July 1. Read all about him in our latest blog!✝️

"We are reminded that God wants us to be able to see the sufferings of others and to be able to help others in need. As we pray and reflect on the gifts we receive from God, we consider how what we have can help others. How best can I use the gifts I’ve received from God to serve my brothers and sisters?"💙
Thank you, Fr. Christopher, for helping us to focus on all we can give to those around us this Lent. How is your family practicing almsgiving during this beautiful season?✝️🙏

"Even through Joseph’s fears, God’s will, his history and his plan were at work. Joseph, then, teaches us that faith in God includes believing that he can work even through our fears, our frailties and our weaknesses. He also teaches us that amid the tempests of life, we must never be afraid to let the Lord steer our course. At times, we want to be in complete control, yet God always sees the bigger picture."
—Pope Francis💙
We ask for St. Joseph’s intercession in the lives of our entire community, that he may bring our children and our school ever closer to the Lord. St. Joseph, pray for us!🕊✝️
