ReEnrollment has begun!

We’ve launched the reenrollment process for the 2022-2023 academic year. You should have gotten an email about it today (Feb. 25). Once you’ve reenrolled, your child(ren)’s spots in the class is saved for next year. Please remember that we’re forming waiting lists for many grades. Interest in SJA is growing and we want to prioritize our current families over new families for next year. To save your child’s spot, please reenroll no later than Wednesday, March 9, 2022.


Now, here’s what’s going on at SJA!

  • Our Annual Gala will be on May 7, 2022. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and helps to support all of our activities here at SJA. Please consider procuring and/or donating items to be raffled or auctioned off to support our students’ education. All such donations are tax-deductible. Click here for more info. 
  • Our annual Jog-a-thon sports fundraiser is on April 7th. We’ll be sending out the details next week.
  • Please invite your students’ grandparents to our annual Grandparents Day celebration (April 29, 2022, starting at 8:15am). Grandparents will get a glimpse into the school their grandchildren attend and will get to see student work and performances.
  • We’re bringing back the Daddy/Daughter Dance this year! It will be on April 30th. More details will be sent out in the coming weeks. It will be hosted by the High School ASB and all elementary and middle school girls and their dads are invited.
  • Our WASC Accreditation (roughly, every six years) is coming up this year, so we may reach out to some parents and students to give WASC their input. They’ll conduct their campus visit from May 2 through May 4.
  • Leading up to our patron’s feast day as well as the High School pilgrimage to Fatima, I invite all families to pray the novena to St. Joseph for our students, especially for a fruitful pilgrimage for our high school students.
  • Our 11th grade students recently took the Classical Learning Test, and averaged 73 out of 120, 9 points above the national average! The top score was 107. Congratulations Juniors! 


Looking for Lenten Reading?

I can’t highly enough recommend Brant Pitre’s new book on the spiritual life. I’ve been drawing on it for many of the recent daily morning announcements. Click here!


Parenting In a Technological Age

On the evening of April 1st, we’ll host an evening of formation and fellowship for parents. We’ll have hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and an excellent talk! Chris Mueller will give a talk on parenting in light of today’s technology. Please come join us from 7:00pm-9:00pm on April 1st. RSVP by March 11 (space is limited). Click here to RSVP!


CIF Section Champs!

Blessedly, our Saint Joseph Academy men’s Varsity Basketball team has defeated Valley Center for the Division 5 San Diego Section Championship. They won in an exciting game against a school with more than ten times the number of high school enrollment compared to SJA. The final score was 68-36, and our young men will go on to regionals next week. Our crusaders worked incredibly hard, played smart, and handled the season with excellent sportsmanship. We’re all so proud of them! We should get more information on the Regional Championship early next week (if not over the weekend).

Congratulations, men!
