New Schedule Highlights
Saint Joseph’s has launched an exciting new schedule designed to transform the student experience. Inspired by two years of valuable feedback from students, parents, and faculty—and grounded in cutting-edge research on how students learn best—this new approach is all about helping our students thrive like never before.
Free Period - Students choose how to spend this 75-minute period every other day. They can spend it in the new Commons, outdoor patio space, library, chapel, dedicated study space, or weight room.
Community Time - Four days each week, students have an hour-long community time for Mass, clubs, household gatherings, and meeting with teachers if they need extra support.
Expanded Club Program - Every teacher is sponsoring a club so our students have more opportunities to pursue their passions.
Rotating Schedule - Students attend the same four classes every other day, and those classes are in a rotation. Workload and stress levels are reduced as students only need to prepare for four classes each day.
AP Capstone Program
College Board's AP Capstone Program, comprising of AP Seminar and AP Research, supplements the AP program. It fosters cross-disciplinary learning, and hones analysis, teamwork, and evidence-based argumentation skills, culminating in students' proficiency in independent research.
Students who receive a passing score of 3 or higher on both the AP Seminar and AP Research portfolios will be eligible to receive an AP Seminar and Research Certificate. Those who receive an AP Seminar and Research certificate while also receiving a passing score of 3 or higher on four additional AP exams will be eligible to receive an AP Diploma.
