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.
Join us in giving Mrs. Jodie Fort a very warm welcome to St. Joseph's 3rd Grade classroom!💙🥳
Mrs. Fort has a passion for helping students grow academically, socially, and spiritually. She holds both a Bachelor's and Master's from American InterContinental University and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Education at Liberty University, specializing in Curriculum and Instruction. Throughout Mrs. Fort's career, she has committed to creating engaging learning environments where students feel valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
"I believe that education is about more than academics," says Mrs. Fort. "It’s about building character, fostering confidence, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning." She also shares that she is very excited to join us at SJS, and is especially looking forward to being part of our faith-filled community with a focus on strong moral character and true family involvement.
When not teaching or studying, Mrs. Fort enjoys playing with her fur baby Bella, watching Lifetime Movies, talking on the phone with family and friends, reading, listening to music, eating seafood, and spending quality time with her husband. Community is very important to Mrs. Fort—we know she will fit right in here.😁
Welcome, Mrs. Fort!💙
