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.
