The following table shows the subjects that are offered to each grade level at Saint Joseph Catholic
School during the 2023-2024 school year. For each subject, it indicates the approximate
number of hours per week that it is being be offered to students during in-school learning.
Most of its entries reflect subject times advised by the Archdiocese of Denver.
It is our belief that this balance of subject times provides the best possible learning
opportunities for our students.
