Admissions Requirements

At St. Joseph the Worker School, we provide a faith-based, academically strong education for children from Preschool 2 through 8th grade. Located in Orefield, PA, we proudly serve families throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Parkland, East Penn, Northampton, Kutztown, Whitehall, Salisbury, and nearby communities.

We strive to place each student in a learning environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Admission is based on a review of application materials, academic records, and other relevant information to ensure each child is set up for success.

Children must be five years old by October 15 to enroll in Kindergarten. Non-Catholic students are welcome and participate fully in our faith-based curriculum, including religion classes, liturgies, retreats, and service opportunities.

Enrollment is a partnership between families and staff. Continued enrollment depends on attendance, academic progress, positive behavior, and meeting financial responsibilities. All students are admitted on a one-year probationary status.

Our school community offers a nurturing and family-friendly environment where students receive a strong education, grow in their faith, and are supported in reaching their full potential.
