Application & Transfer Process

Thank you for your interest in St. Joseph’s Academy. 

St. Joseph's Academy recognizes that students are not defined by one area alone. The Admissions Council uses a holistic approach that considers the student's classroom performance in 7th and 8th grades, standardized test scores, and their activities and involvement. The application process typically begins after the student completes her Shadow Visit. Please contact Dianne Dunning-Gill '88 at ddg@sja1840.org to schedule a shadow visit. 

If you would like to submit an application or receive information about how to apply, please contact Dianne Dunning-Gill '88, Director of Enrollment Management, by phone at (314) 394-4321, or by email at ddg@sja1840.org.
