Accreditation
St. Joseph School was awarded accreditation through the Wisconsin Religious
and Independent School Accreditation (WRISA) program in November 2007.  

This accreditation followed two years of collecting data and completing a
thorough self-study.  St. Joseph is now one of 259 religious and independent
schools in Wisconsin to be recognized as meeting the standards of the WRISA
association.  The accreditation process allows a school to examine what they are
doing well and what areas may need improvement.  It is also a means of showing
the school community that the school is interested in overall improvement and
excellence.

During the 2004-2005 school years the teachers and staff engaged in a self
study.  We discussed current practices in curriculum and instruction, the
philosophy and mission of the school, facilities and governance.  

We have a long-range plan for the next six years.  It gives us a road map of
areas to address.  Our goals may be modified and expanded, but we are always
going to have some area to evaluate and modify to meet the needs of our school
community.

Parents are encouraged to ask their employers if their company will match any
donations parents make to our school.  Some companies will do this, but only if
the school is accredited.  

Parents will be asked to complete a survey each spring regarding the school and
the programs offered.
