St. Joseph Preschool
Recently In The Classroom...(Highlights from monthly lesson themes.)
Research studies have well documented that children who attend preschool are more likely to succeed in Kindergarten, with academic and social benefits that last long beyond their early years. St. Joseph Preschool helps lay a solid foundation for your child’s long term learning experiences through St. Joseph Elementary and St. Joseph Middle by nurturing their students spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and emotionally that enables them to reach their full potential in life...and beyond.

“I am proud to be back at St. Joseph’s…. Both of my children, Andrew and Christina, attended and graduated from St. Joseph’s in Anderson.” Ms Barrington said. “The school was a cornerstone of faith in action for my children in their elementary years. They both also attended St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Greenville. Andrew graduated from St. Joseph’s High School.”"My goal is to nurture my students in the love of Jesus and to provide each child with a positive introduction to a formal education as together - we build Faith & Knowledge for Life."
