• In February of 1912, at the St. Joseph Hall, there was a meeting held to see the prospect of having a parochial school in Mandan. The decision was made to remodel the old A-frame church to accommodate 125 school children.
• In 1913, the school doors open, with over 200 students arriving for the 1st day of school.
• Since then, St. Joseph School has been a staple of high-quality Catholic Education.
• For over 110 years, we have been educating children in Mandan and the surrounding community.
• In 2020, the school made the change from traditional education to Montessori education.
• We now proudly offer quality Catholic education from age 3 to seniors in high school.

"CATHOLIC SCHOOLS HAVE PROVEN TO BE OF PRICELESS VALUE TO GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN - TEACHING THEM TO KNOW, LOVE, TO SERVE GOD, AND PREPARING THEM TO TAKE THEIR PLACE ACTIVELY AND RESPONSIBLY IN THE COMMUNITY OF THE CHURCH."- POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II

At Saint Joseph Catholic School, we are serious about the formation of the whole child. Education is not soley the communication of theories, principles, and knowledge. It is about feeding our dear children's minds, bodies, and souls.St. Joseph School has been educating children for over a century. At the beginning ofthe fall 2020 school year, St. Joseph`s School will transition the learning center and the K-5 school into Montessori classrooms. We will be adding a second Children`s House, a lower elementary classroom (grades 1 3), and an upper elementary classroom (grades 4 6). As well, the third floor of the school has become a Montessori lower adolescent school (grades 7 9) and upper Adolescent (grades 10-12) called School of the Holy Family
