Students at Saint Joseph Academy are taught to comprehensively study and understand the English language. This means helping students develop strong reading and writing skills. As students move up, faculty members will continue to build on past fundamentals while building them up toward gaining confidence with their vocabulary and speech. 

As a result of direct instruction and guided practice, our students will be able to comprehend literature ranging from short stories, novels, works of non-fiction, and poetry. Our students will become reflective, critical thinkers of the written word.
