About Us

St. Joseph Catholic Academy (SJCA) is a nonprofit educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City–St. Joseph, formed through the collaboration of the St. Joseph-area parishes: Cathedral of St. Joseph, St. Francis Xavier, St. James, St. Patrick, St. Mary’s, St. Rose of Lima, and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

​

Rooted in a proud tradition of Catholic education spanning over a century, the Academy unites these historic parish schools into one faith-filled community. By streamlining internal operations, SJCA empowers teachers and pastors to focus more intentionally on their students, all while cultivating exceptional scholars to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.

​

SJCA serves students from early childhood through high school across the following campuses:

• St. Gianna Early Childhood Center

• Cathedral School

• St. Francis Xavier Catholic School

• St. James Catholic School

• Bishop LeBlond High School
