    New Spaces

Saint Joseph Academy is a place where remarkable young women find inspiration by becoming part of an extraordinary sisterhood.


Every day, our students are inspired by the legacy of the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph. Today, we are building on that legacy by launching InspireSJA, a $6.5 million capital campaign to create an 8400-square foot addition to the Academy building that includes new spaces for athletics and wellness, performing arts, and building community, inspiring our students to develop the skills and creativity that make them remarkable young women.

Join us in inspiring the young people who will be lifelong cornerstones of our community - guaranteeing the longevity of the Academy’s tradition.  Together, we will InspireSJA.

Exciting Match Challenge

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and a transformative partnership with The Howley Foundation, the InspireSJA campaign is nearing completion.  Because of an incredible matching gift challenge from The Howley Foundation, we have only $500,000 in additional donations left to raise to reach our $6.5 million goal.   Each dollar you contribute towards that amount to InspireSJA will be matched by $1.40 from The Howley Foundation, more than doubling your impact and bringing us one step closer to completing this vital campaign.
