Admissions
Summary
St. Joseph Catholic STEM School, mindful of our mission to inspire and empower all learners, admits students of any race, color, ethnicity, financial status, gender, disability status, or religion. While we do not discriminate against students with special accommodations, a full range of services may not always be available to them.
Because St. Joseph Catholic STEM School is a parish school, admissions priority may be given to children from registered and active families of St. Joseph Catholic Community. We may admit new students at any time during the school year. Prior to such admission, St. Joseph Catholic STEM School and the parents must reach an agreement on all tuition obligations and expectations concerning the completion of the school year.
Financial
Aid & Scholarships
St. Joseph Catholic Community has a strong commitment to providing quality Catholic education at our parish school. At the same time, we realize that not all parents are able to pay the full amount of tuition. We do not want cost to be the deciding factor for families so we work with you to ensure your tuition is affordable, create a payment plan, and help you make Catholic education a reality.

All applications must be completed through TADS. Once the application is completed, it may take several weeks through the audit process. Parents are responsible for communicating directly with TADS during this process to provide any documentation. Once completed, parents will be notified by St. Joseph School.

These scholarships help fund the awards granted by St. Joseph School.
