I really like the close and friendly community at SJA. I was able to easily make friends and the teachers are always there to help you. There i a good amount of clubs and organizations to choose from and you can even create your own! Religion is a big part of the community as we have mass each month and prayers every day. The food from for lunch comes from local restaurants or fast food so its generally good and the price is alright. IF the food form the school lunch is not your preference there is also another option to buy from from the school's cafe food. They sell different options available for all students. The school is also well guarded and has a good safe system/ There is cameras and guards placed around the school to check that everything is safe. The facility at SJA is well taken care of, has advanced technology and is very beautiful. They just remodeled our cafe area and it looks really nice. Overall, the community at SJA is very welcoming and the campus is beautiful.
As they say," once a bloodhound, always a bloodhound"! This is very true. Saint Joseph academy has a very tight knit, family like community. It is very easy to fit in and get involved. It has an Alumni Association in place, former students can re-connect with others at either social mixers across the U.S. It also push students to be the best inside and out of the classroom. All of the teachers are very helpful, and the several rigorous courses, clubs, sports ad extracurriculars are offered.
SJA is a institution in Brownsville. They have a proven track record of success for their students. They have a rigorous curriculum and highly educated faculty and staff. The campus is safe and secure. Students who graduate from SJA go on to have very bright and prosperous futures. This is a great place to enroll your child. Go Bloodhounds!
