Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy Reviews

26 reviews

As a parent of two children at Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy, I am extremely impressed with the school’s commitment to excellence. The teachers and staff give each child love and support. The principal is involved and creates clear lines of communication with families. The school is a welcoming community. We plan to have both kids complete pre-K through 8th grade- another added bonus! Both of my children look forward to attending school because of their classmates, the activities, and the amazing teachers. As working parents, we also appreciate the afterschool program and enrichment activities. We feel lucky to be part of the highly successful program at SJWCA!

Review Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy

We love St Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy. We have 4 children here and have had the best experience! It is a truly unique and wonderful community at our school. The curriculum is challenging, the teachers are awesome, there's fantastic enrichment programs during the school day and after school. Even after moving from Brooklyn to Queens we continue to commute to SJWCA every day because it is that special. Our two eldest children will be graduating from 8th grade next year and moving on to high schools and I am so grateful their Pre K-8th grade education was at SJWCA. They are disciplined, prepared, compassionate, kind, well rounded students and young adults. Some of this is from home but we do credit St Joseph the Worker with its fair share of these wonderful attributes. This school and the community of families here has shaped our lives in the best way.

We have been overall really happy with the quality of education and teachers at St. Joesph the worker. We originally switched over in the 2020 pandemic from Public school and we are so happy to have smaller classes and individual attention for our kids. The only downside to small class size is sometimes it's hard for kids if they don't click with the kids in the class or the gender skews to one side too much. Whenever we have had any issue, the administration and principal are so so so responsive. Really wonderful place for our kids!
