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.

-
