You Belong at Josephinum!

We are so excited to welcome you to Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart! Here at 'The Jo', we provide exceptional education, a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, and the deep connections of sisterhood forged in our inclusive community. Together, we are cultivating the leaders, changemakers, and visionaries of tomorrow.

We know that for some families, the cost of full tuition can stretch resources beyond family budgets. Thanks to a generous community of supporters, we’re proud to work with each family to provide scholarships and financial aid to make Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart accessible for each family.
