Testimonials

"We currently have 4 students enrolled at St. Joseph School. This year our oldest son, who has been at St Joseph School since he was 4 (10 years at St. Joseph), will be leaving Catholic education. In the world that we live in, with so many choices to be made, we are more confident that our son will make positive choices, make new friends and excel in his academics in High School. This is all due to the strong foundation he has been given at St. Joseph School in spiritual and academic education. He has also maintained high grades in all academic areas. With this ever changing world, many times not for the better, we are glad to have our children in a safe environment where they are surrounded with opportunities to make positive choices and be role models. All four children thoroughly enjoy their experiences at St. Joseph School. This includes the love of their teachers, as well as their friendships with their peers."

"I am a parishioner and the Grandmother of an 8 year old student that attends St. Joseph School. I have been a parishioner for about 10 years, when I moved to Fairhaven from New Bedford. I was granted custody of my granddaughter a few years ago and enrolled her in Catholic School in 2022. Both she and I Love the school, she has gained a lot of friends and loves her teachers. Her reading skills along with her confidence have grown. We love the smaller classroom sizes and wearing a uniform helps with getting ready in the morning. Attending St Joseph School gives her the structure she needs along with morals and a strong Catholic background. I love that she has Religion as part of curriculum, it is the main reason for sending her to Catholic School. St Joseph School is a place where she enjoys attending and gets a great education and Catholic education, so she can grow stronger in her faith."

"I have been here for 25 years, first as a volunteer, then as a teacher. I love this school because of its family environment and you get to know the families personally. You see them grow up and then you get their siblings. Students form lifelong friendships here. My own three children graduated from SJS, it’s a safe, caring environment with high accreditation standards."
