St. Joseph Catholic School in Manhattan is holding an Open House on Sunday, January 24, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 275 W. North Street, Manhattan, IL. The school offers academic half and full day preschool programs, half and full day kindergarten classes and serves students through eighth grade.

St. Joseph emphasizes academic excellence combined with Catholic tradition that emphasizes growth of the whole person -- mind, body, spirit and service to others and the community. The small class sizes maximize student and teacher interactions. The school has conference athletics, fine arts, and numerous other extracurricular activities. Before and After School Care is available and affordable and is staffed by St. Joseph teachers and staff, ensuring a welcoming environment for students.
