Accreditation

Saint Joseph School was awarded a 10-year renewal of accreditation in February 2020 by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.  This accreditation followed an extensive two-year self-study of all aspects of our school, including mission, health and safety, governance, academics, and student experience.  We are proud to have met and passed every standard for accreditation!  Furthermore, we are fortunate to have been commended in many areas: 

“The Commission commends the entire school community for its commitment to the education and nurturing of its students.  In addition, the Commission commends the School for welcoming its racially, culturally, geographically, religiously, academically, and socioeconomically diverse student population.”

Testimonials

While virtual learning wasn’t ideal, it is the hand we are dealt this semester. My daughter’s school, St. Joseph School, Medford, had a platform for learning the Monday after school closures. Not only did she learn what a 3rd grader needs to learn, she gained technology skills. Google classroom, Flipgrid, and Zoom were utilized. It was an added bonus that her awesome teacher recreated her classroom “rug” by reading to the kids on Instagram! Again, nothing replaces classroom learning and socializing, but if you are looking for small class sizes and great teachers, consider St. Joseph’s School in Medford.
We have seven children who have attended St. Joseph School and over the years have come to view the faculty and administrators as family. The Catholic education and friendships our kids experienced speaks volumes to an environment that helps students thrive at the high school and college level. We give St. Joe’s our highest endorsement.
Kevin and Ann Marie Kelly
Our girls both attend Saint Joseph School and we couldn’t be happier. Not only are they challenged and nourished academically but they are thought to invoke and resonate peace, love and kindness. In this world of uncertainty it is our one haven of hope for what our future brings.

My two daughters are now the third generation of my family to attend St. Joseph School. The lessons they are learning can’t just be found in a book. We are lucky and proud to be a part of this amazing school & community.
Jay Lonergan
We wanted an environment that would challenge our children mentally & spiritually. ECLC class structure is engaging and informative. They build on the Christian values we instill as parents. We are never left in the dark and feel completely safe leaving our children there. They look forward to going to school everyday to learn and be with their friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our children.
