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.
Our Knights walked over to St. Joseph last week, where they had the unique opportunity to be among dozens of relics together with Fr. Robert!
5th Grader Corvin marveled at the beauty of the relics he learned about that day. "It’s great that young people can see stuff that’s holy. It’s just amazing," said Corvin, who sings in the choir and is also an altar server.🙏
We couldn’t agree more, Corvin! Our whole community is so blessed to have the occasion to contemplate the holy lives of these saints.😇💙

Wonderful opportunity for the students!
Mrs. Driggers’ 2nd Grade students learned all about air in science class!
Through their experiments, they discovered…
🌬Air is matter
🌫It is an invisible mixture of gases
🌀Air can move things
🎈It can fill up a plastic bag or balloon
We love to see our students discover new things about their everyday world. Thank you for sharing, Mrs. Driggers!

What’s that I spy on the 3D printer?💫
An SJS Knight, eager to welcome you!
Ms. Boose’s students have been having so much fun with the 3D printer. They made these Knights to be placed at the SJS entrance to welcome everyone into our school community.
Will you be the next member of the Knight family? 💙 Visit our website for more information on enrollment: www.sjsmacon.org/

At SJS, we form hearts, minds, and souls that will shine Christ’s light for generations to come. ✝️
One of five generations of SJS students, Dr. Jimmy Cassidy Jr. graduated in 1970. His children were Knights, and now his granddaughter Lottie is, too. He says that seeing Lottie attend SJS is very meaningful to him:
“I know I’m passing on not just a great education, but a spiritual education that I am grateful to have been given by my parents sending me to SJS.”🙏
Legacy families like the Cassidys find joy in seeing their children and grandchildren play, learn, and grow in the same environment that shaped their own young lives.
Once a Knight, always a Knight.💙
Part of a legacy family? We’d love to hear all about what St. Joseph’s means to your family!

So happy that my granddaughter, Hayzel Barnes, is a SJS Legacy.
Having been a student at St. Joseph's Catholic School in the 70’s, sent our daughter in 6th grade then to MDS where she now teaches High School math and I’ve been teaching kindergarten 18 years at SJS (35 years total in K) 😊💙💛- I feel like life comes full circle! As a parishioner and teacher I could not love SJS anymore! We have always been such a wonderful place to be and I am so proud to be a Knight!! I love our traditions like the Kindergarten Christmas program which has been performed since the 1960’s! Incredible!! We are such an amazing community and SJS helped me become the person I am today! I love teaching and passing on the Catholic faith to my kinders!!!! Truly the Holy Spirit called me to SJS in 2008! 💛💙💛💙 Here’s to 150 more years!!!! #catholicfaith #catholicschoolstrong
