Scholar Programs

Our Scholar Programs are designed to nurture lifelong learners who are ready for more.

Global Learning Scholars

Overview

Global Learning at St. Joseph's Academy is tied to the mission and core values of our school. It is our goal that the students involved in Global Learning develop these competencies and carry them throughout their lives.

Program Information

This is a highly selective program that all freshmen and sophomores may apply for in December through an application and interview process. It is limited to 35 students. Then, when the student completes the milestones below, they are marked as a graduate of the Global Learning Scholar Program, an honor which will be recognized during our end-of-year celebrations and on their transcript.

The Global Learning Scholar Program lets the student experience the world outside of the traditional classroom. It prepares them to develop and grow in each aspect of the global competencies so they are ready to make a profound impact in the world. Through this program, the student will work with the Director of Global Learning to achieve different milestones that will help them on their journey to becoming a Global Learning Scholar.

Magis Scholars

Overview

The Magis Scholar Program seeks to create opportunities throughout a student's four years that allow for personal and academic growth, through travel, financial planning, course selection, and college visits.

Program Information

At St. Joseph’s Academy, we want all students to soar in college and their careers. Finding each student great financial, social, and academic fits for college is something that College Advising takes seriously. While advisors travel broadly, research extensively, and build relationships with colleges and universities across the country, having students visit colleges themselves is a crucial part of knowing where each student will thrive.
