Joseph Catholic Elementary & Montessori Preschool was established in 1954 and has served the St. Joseph Parish family, the Diocese, and the community since that time. St. Joseph's has been fully accredited since 1966. We are proud of our remodeled building and expanding technology program. The heartbeat of our school is, of course, Jesus in the Eucharist, whom our children are privileged to receive daily in Holy mass.
He beats in the hearts of our dedicated, experienced, and loving staff who seek to nurture the potential in all of our students-that they may give their best in mind, body, and soul.

Joseph School is established to for the entire child: spirit, mind and body. Our philosophy is to incorporate Christ's teachings into everyday living and to nurture each child's potential by providing a quality academic education, in an inclusive family atmosphere that values relationships, and welcomes diversity within a Catholic environment.
Celebrating sixty years of spiritual and academic excellence, St. Joseph Catholic School was founded by St. Joseph's Parish under the direction of its first pastor, Father Edmund Hartigan. Two Benedictine Sisters from Fort Smith, Arkansas, were on the first staff, and the Benedictine Sisters continued to serve St. Joseph's School until 1996.
We believe that the way to carry out the mission of the church is by joining together in worship, service and love. Our school is the primary ministry of the church. Our students are encouraged to, not only pursue academic achievement, but also spiritual growth. The St. Joseph School community extends a big welcome to your family.
Phase 2 Once the application and the Records Release from the previous school have been received, our office will contact your family about the next steps towards joining our family! Joseph Catholic Elementary & Montessori will email instructions to complete registration online for the following year.
The Montessori Method allows children to learn the way they learn best and easiest - by doing things themselves. Basically, the children teach themselves with the help and assistance of their teacher, in a disciplined environment that allows all to progress.
With tuition for our Montessori program at $350 for children three years of age and up, the investment you make in your child's education is well worth the growth and discovery your child will encounter.Under the guidance of the teacher, the children can choose work that appeals to their own inner interests.

I cannot say enough great things about St. Joseph school. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and the principal is exceptional! Anytime there has been an issue with my son at school, they ALWAYS take the time to get the full story and immediately call me to try and resolve the issue. They host soooooo many fun activities for the kids and parents to get involved in together. I highly recommend!

We absolutely love St Joseph’s Catholic School! It’s a big family! Mr Hernandez is truly wonderful! Love the small class sizes. And the individual learning students are given. Every student is loved and cared for! Best Elementary school in Amarillo! Definitely recommend anyone looking for a second family to come here!
