The Wilberforce School Buildings 1 & 2 Renovations

The Wilberforce School was founded in 2005 to provide a distinctively Christian education characterized by academic excellence and joyful discovery within a classical framework. Located in the former St. Joseph’s College & Seminary which was originally commissioned and operated by the Vincentain Fathers, members of the Congregation of the Mission founded by St. Vincent dePaul, built in 1914.
Today Wilberforce is a thriving JK-12 school with a unique culture. Wilberforce’s goal is beyond college prep – as the school seeks the cultivation of mature adults who seek to honor and serve God in their various callings and are equipped to do so effectively. Through the years the school has grown to include various activities in the life of the school – athletics, debate, the arts (choral and acapella singing, musicals, visual arts), and more – all of which give students opportunities to grow and flourish. As the School has grown it has remained focused on those same priorities the founders began with – integration of vibrant, historic Christian faith with a rich, vigorous academics.
