Our Story

St. Jerome School opened its doors in 1951.

St. Jerome School serves children from Preschool through Grade 8, including before and after school care. Beginning with the 2018-19 school year we began to orient our curriculum and instructional strategies toward a classical, liberal arts focus.

We are a school home for many multilingual students and students with different learning needs. St. Jerome School is an affordable Catholic school, and we offer tuition assistance to families who qualify through the TADS process.

Our strong academic core classes include: religion, math, language arts, science, and social studies. History, religion and literature are integrated into a Humanities block. We have specialists in music, physical education, and the Forge (a blend of art and science). Our students participate in Socratic seminars, using the Shared Inquiry methodology of the Great Books Foundation. St. Jerome students show great growth on the NWEA tests, given three times a year in reading, math and language.

Our students attend an all school mass every Wednesday at 9:45. Each week a different class helps with the mass and offers a way to think about the readings, usually a skit or song. We also have opportunities for a children’s choir during weekly mass and throughout the year.

St. Jerome School is beautifully culturally and socioeconomically diverse. We have students with different learning abilities, including down syndrome and autism. Our arms are open and our hearts are ready to welcome families who desire the faith based education and learning environment we offer.

There are many opportunities for students to become involved in extra curricular activities. Our sports program offers soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball, swimming, and track. We also offer band, individual voice, piano and guitar lessons.

We embrace the social teaching of the Catholic Church and local service to the poor and our neighboring elderly is integral to our community. We greatly value the volunteer contributions of our parishioners, parents and grandparents.
