St. Joseph Catholic School

A Message To Our Community

St. Joseph Catholic School in Bradenton, Florida, has a tradition of inspiring faith and excellence in students for over 65 years. We offer a fully accredited, affordable, Catholic education for children of all faiths.  As a Christian Elementary and Middle School, we currently have 292 students, grades PreK-3 through 8th grade, with a Free VPK program.

We provide a superior education in a secure and stimulating, faith-based environment, that encourages the spiritual, academic, social and physical development of each individual child.  We have an outstanding long-term faculty, who view teaching as a true vocation.  We invite you to schedule a visit to our campus, and to experience the warm, welcoming atmosphere of our school community.
