About Us

St. Joseph's School for the Deaf is one of eleven New York State 4201 Schools created by legislation to provide educational services to children who are deaf, blind or physically challenged. The 4201 schools are located in areas throughout New York State and are financially supported directly from the New York State Department of Education.

St. Joseph's School for the Deaf was established in 1869 as a model school for the education of children who are deaf. St. Joseph’s is located on a 10-acre campus in the Bronx, New York.

St. Joseph's School for the Deaf meets the full range of student communication needs from the cochlear implanted oral/aural child to children needing a signed ASL communication approach. Staff follow the New York State Learning Standards as a guide for their instructional content and teaching strategies. Our staff are certified Masters level administrators, teachers of the deaf and teachers of speech. Support staff are fully licensed by the State of New York Department of Education. Our children range in age from infancy to 14 years, are severely/profoundly deaf (or function as such) and are culturally diverse.
