St. Joseph Montessori School (SJMS) was established in 1968 as a preschool preparation program for St. Joseph Academy, operated by the Sisters of Notre Dame.

Although declining enrollment forced the closing of the 100-year-old high school in 1977, a cooperative effort between the Sisters and parent body resulted in the transition of SJMS into a private Pre-K-8 Diocesan school with nonprofit status and an elected parent Board of Trustees.
In 2021, SJMS opened its first Toddler program, accepting students as young as 18 months of age. In 2023, St. Joseph Montessori School became the first American Montessori Society Accredited Montessori School in Central Ohio, and is 1 of 222 AMS accredited schools worldwide.
