Thank you for your interest in St. Joseph Catholic School in Bradenton.  As the only Catholic School in Manatee county, our mission is to nurture the growth and development of the whole child from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, within the framework of a Christ-centered environment. It is our responsibility to provide students opportunities for spiritual growth, and enhancement of Christian values, so that each may pursue a life centered in Jesus Christ.

     Our teachers are committed to offering each student the opportunity to grow to his or her highest potential. The curriculum offers students ample opportunities for heightened success and self-esteem. We are proud of our students' accomplishments. Last year, we had students advance to the state level and win awards in sporting events, National History Fair Competition, Science Fair, Knights of Columbus Spelling Bee, and the Odyssey of the Mind competition.
      St. Joseph Catholic School recognizes the importance of a strong working relationship between home and school. It is this bond that allows parents and faculty to work closely together in all aspects of school life, with the students as the center of their efforts.
