We Want To See You So Come On Home!

Six years ago our community reimagined what Catholic education could be and banded together to create the North Shore's premier independent Catholic elementary school. Through your generosity we've been able to bring our vision to life by building a school that preserves the favored traditions of the past as it marches boldly into the future.

The Academy at SJA is beginning its 5th year strong and we're celebrating this accomplishment on Homecoming weekend.

All alumni and their families/parents are invited to this momentous occasion!

Deadline to register is Sunday, October 1. Please RSVP - just $25/family.

Alums Enroll Kids at SJA/ASJA

Over 20 alums have sent or are sending their children to their grade school. Six of them were recently interviewed to learn why they made that decision. Was it the teachers? the classmates? the school size? Find out - watch the video.
