St. Joseph School - Fullerton

"I am a new parent to St. Josephs. My Perkier and Kindergartener started this August 2022. I was late to the private school registration and did not realize how competitive it has become. We looked at several schools all which had waitlist. I worked with admissions and still wanted to visit each school. Saint Jose was the 2nd school I toured. I immediately walked in and it felt like home. It was one of those moments when you know you know. Ms. Angie in admissions made me feel like I was there a dozen times and she was a friend from years ago. I felt like my kids would have 40 other parent (teacher) with them everyday. We stayed on the wait list for several months and then got the notice that the openings were available. I didn't hesitate to accept! The support and family that come from this school has been so welcoming. I know I made the right choice for my children and I look forward to the growth they will have here. I only a few short months I see how much they have flourished both in education, and religion. There is always events and gatherings if you choose to attend."

"My daughter started at St. Joseph School in kindergarten. She is currently in second grade and both my husband and I have been extremely pleased with the school. I loved how she had a gradual entry into kindergarten to get accustomed to the program. All her teachers have been absolutely amazing, and I love how much knowledge my daughter has gained in just the 3 years that she has been there. St. Joes really stepped up to the challenge of virtual learning in the spring. They have done an amazing job of getting the children back into the school this fall and have made it extremely safe for those students that wanted to return to do so. The teachers are currently teaching in person as well as virtual, and have done it with amazing patience and grace. I’m so happy to be a part of this community and can’t imagine her getting an education anywhere else."

"St. Joseph School is a wonderful school that feels like an extension of our family. The preschool and kindergarten teachers have been phenomenal; they are both highly skilled and compassionate, and they do an excellent job teaching the students and helping them feel comfortable with new routines, etc. Even in these unprecedented and uncertain times, the faculty and staff at St. Joe’s (along with the pastor and associate pastor of St. Joseph Church) have done an outstanding job at keeping the students on track and facilitating a seamless transition from “normal” 100% in-person learning to 100% virtual learning (in Spring of 2020) and a mixture of in-person and virtual students (in Fall of 2020). They’ve poured their hearts and souls into making this new environment as safe as possible while also trying to keep things as normal as possible for the students. We feel so fortunate to have found St. Joseph’s and to have had the opportunity to enroll our child starting in preschool. We have nothing but good things to say about St. Joseph School in Fullerton and would choose this school over and over again! We couldn’t be happier with the school and parish!"

"I have two children that are enrolled at St. Joseph Fullerton. I cannot say enough good things about this school. Their pre-k program is creative and engaging. The teachers get them started on a schedule that is both conducive and creates a joy to learning. I know that my son will be ready for kindergarten and will look forward to going to school. My daughter started in kindergarten and is now in second grade. We have loved each teacher and class she has learned so much, even with virtual school being sprung on us the last half of 2020. The school is doing an amazing job of keeping our kids safe and giving a wonderful option for virtual learning. The community of St Joseph Fullerton must also be mentioned. There is a real camaraderie with the parents and staff at the school. I feel comfortable asking any of the administration a question knowing that it will be answered quickly and thoroughly."

"The decision to send our daughter to St.Josephs was the easiest decision we’ve ever made. We fell in love with the school instantly. The staff along with the parents make it feel like a family. I love volunteering my time because I know how much it is appreciated. Though the school is on the older side, do not let that fool you. The students have top notch technology and improvements are continuously being made. My child is only in first grade and I’m already dreading the last day of eighth grade when she has to move on. Somehow I know we will always be a member of the St. Joe’s family."
