Registration Dates

  • Each year in February we open registration for the following school year. Exact dates are shown above.

  • Returning students register first, then new Catholic families one week later, then open registration begins one week after that. 

​


Tuition Assistance

  • Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, all St. Joseph students in kindergarten-8th grade are eligible to receive an Education Freedom Account (EFA) from the State of Arkansas. An EFA will provide at least $6,800 per K-8 student that can be applied to tuition.

​

​

Admissions Priority

In the event that there are more student applicants than classroom positions, classes will be filled in the following order:

  1. St. Joseph parishioners with siblings already attending St. Joseph Catholic School

  2. St. Joseph parishioners attending the school for the first time

  3. Catholics registered with other parishes with siblings already attending St. Joseph Catholic School

  4. Catholics registered with other parishes attending the school for the first time

  5. Non-Catholic families with siblings already attending St. Joseph Catholic School

  6. Non-Catholic families attending the school for the first time

  7. Students enrolling in Pre-K for more days per week will be given priority over students enrolling for fewer days per week. Those who turn 3 before the August 1 cutoff will be given priority for enrollment over those who turn 3 during the first semester and wish to enroll in January.
