College Representatives - Visiting SJA

St. Joseph’s Academy is a private, Catholic high school for girls in St. Louis, Missouri, sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. Our mission is to provide quality Catholic education for young women in an environment that challenges them to grow in faith, knowledge, and respect for self and others. Our community expects these young women to make a profound impact in the world.

Underlying all aspects of school life are the Core Values of the Academy that have served to inspire generations of distinctive women:

We believe in a balanced approach to developing the whole woman.
We encourage leadership and influence through action.
We call forth spiritual courage and confidence.
We cultivate intellectual distinction.
We foster the desire to serve.
We expect excellence.

Visit Policy

College representatives are welcome to visit the Academy throughout the school year.

Each summer, the College Advising Team cultivates a list of potential college visits that takes the full breadth and depth of our girls' talents, interests and aspirations into consideration. The team works throughout the summer months to schedule over 100 admissions visits throughout the school year. We see this as a critical point of contact between students, families, and colleges.
College visits are highly promoted through e-mail blasts, social media posts, intercom and community announcements, as well as daily posting on television monitors in Shanahan Commons and outside the Main Office.

All students are encouraged to sign up to attend admissions visits via their Naviance account.

College representatives will meet with students before school, as well as during times of the day when class is not in session.

College Advisors greet and orient each admissions representative to ensure appropriate equipment set up for their presentations.

College representatives have an opportunity to meet with SJA girls in a variety of ways:

Before school with students and families
During lunch
During Event Time at the beginning or end of the school day

To schedule a visit, please visit SCOIR to view availability and sign-up for a time to meet with our students.

If you need assistance, please contact Ms. Christine Holladay, Assistant Director of College Counseling, at cholladay@sja1840.org or (314) 394-4229.
