News from the Eagle's Nest

As we conclude the first semester of the 2009-2010 academic year we look forward to working with districts, parents, students and educators.   We continue to innovate and grow to serve you better.

The expansion of our vocational education program including our Career Education Center and our new automotive program will continue to make us the leader in Special Education programming.

About Us

Joseph Academy is a school serving the needs of young people with severe behavioral, emotional, and learning disabilities. Our program strives to give hope to our students to become successful in their learning environment.

Joseph Academy provides an environment that is both nurturing and challenging.  We seek to build students’ self-esteem and productivity through a therapeutic program in which staff members constantly express respect and affection for them.
