Academics

At St. Joan of Arc School, we encourage a learning environment that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math with art and our catholic value system.
 
As a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence we strive to give our students the best education possible. In a safe, nurturing, and community oriented environment they are prepared for a successful high school career, encouraged to become lifelong learners, and grow into confident, value based, ethical, and critical thinking young adults.
 
Our students move on to high schools including private, catholic and public high schools and many of them will become and graduate honor students. 
 
While standardized test scores are not the only indication for a great education, St. Joan of Arc students achieve top tier results in the standardized Iowa Test conducted in grades 3-8 compared to national results.
