Spiritual Life
It is clear from our name and mission statement that St. Joseph Catholic Academy is committed to the Gospel message of Jesus that serves as the foundation for all instructional and non-instructional programs and activities. At the Academy, students and teachers begin and end the day in prayer. In addition to their religion class, the children attend liturgies and prayer services on a regular basis, at least monthly throughout the school year.
In addition to the approved religion curriculum, children in first through eighth grade receive a copy of the Pflaum Gospel Weekly which serves as a preparation for Sunday liturgy as well as a resource to encourage faith formation within the family. The children are encouraged to provide age- appropriate service of some kind within and outside the academy community, whether through Propagation of the Faith donations, the annual toy and coat drives, or the Monday-weekly canned-food drives. Children in the junior high are required to perform forty hours of personal service each year and to keep a service journal.
Since every teacher is a catechist by example and/or direct instruction, one of the faculty profession

St. Joseph Academy
In , St. Joseph Academy was founded by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Housed in a renovated building called &#;Villa Maria,&#; few students were able to attend this "country school" located three miles west of downtown Des Moines due to limited public transportation.
St. Joseph's first graduating class numbered only one, but enrollment quickly grew to 16 girls who were taught by six Sisters of Charity, led by Sister Mary Baptist Seely. The "Villa Maria" was eventually moved to the rear of the school's property and a building which housed a library, classrooms and a hall was built. In , an auditorium, music hall and chapel were added.&#;
