Welcome Back to School

Welcome to the website for St. Joan of Arc Catholic School. This site is still a work in progress, but we hope you find it informative and interesting.

I am in my sixth year as principal at St. Joan of Arc School. I am proud to say this school has the best faculty and staff in the city of Indianapolis. If you don’t believe me, just ask around! I am a product of Catholic schools. I believe Catholic schools provide an excellent education. St. Joan of Arc is even a step beyond the others because our community is truly diverse religiously, socio-economically, racially and culturally. This allows our students to learn with a more realistic understanding of the world. We are sincere when we say, “very open enrollment.”

The school is fully accredited, preschool through eighth grade, by the State of Indiana and the North Central Accreditation Association. St. Joan of Arc School has also been designated as an Exemplary School by the State of Indiana.

The school provides some financial assistance, and accepts CHOICE Charitable Trust funding. Again, welcome, and please contact me at mpsharpe@sjoa.org if I can answer additional questions or take you on a tour of the school.

Our school parents are very supportive and would be most happy to talk to about SJA as well. Contact sabell@sjoa.org if you would like to learn more about the school from a school parent.
