Title One

Title One funds are provided to the school by the Federal Government through the public school system. These funds provide eligible students with remedial services in reading and/or math. For information on whether your child may be eligible to receive these services, contact our school's Resource Teacher and Student Services contact, Meaghan VandenBosch at vandenboschm@st-joe.org

Learning Accommodations

Students with learning accommodations are provided with a HELP (Helpful Education Learning Plan) by our school's Resource Teacher and/or Guidance Counselor. The plan is created based on classroom observations, teacher feedback, and supporting documentation provided to the school (i.e. IEP, Services Plan, 504 accommodation plan, etc.). Our students need to be comfortable learning in a general education setting. Per the Diocese of Orlando, once a student is enrolled in a private school the IEP will be converted to what is called a Services Plan (SP). The Resource Teacher will contact new families with instructions.

If your student has an IEP, Services Plan, 504, or other accommodation plan and you are interested in enrolling, please contact our front office to schedule a tour. Bring your most recent documentation to be evaluated by our Principal, Guidance Counselor, and Resource Teacher.  CLICK HERE.
