Joubert was born in [[rural]] Lawtell in St. Landry Parish to Edmond Joubert and the former Julia Prejean. Edmond died when Curtis was only six years old, and the child entered public schools speaking only French. In 1948, he graduated from Lawtell High School, an entity of the St. Landry Parish School Board, since reconfigured to Lawtell Elementary School. In 1951, Joubert served in the [[Korean War]]. Thereafter, he graduated from the University of Louisiana at [[Lafayette]], formerly known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana or USL, from which he obtained a Bachelor of Science and a master's degree, both in the field of education. He undertook further graduate studies at USL and [[Louisiana State University]] in [[Baton Rouge]]. In 1988, USL honored Joubert as its "Outstanding Graduate in the College of Education". In 1999, as part of its centennial celebration, USL designated Joubert one of its top sixty graduates during the preceding century.<ref name=bio>{{cite web|url=http://www.acadianmuseum.com/legends.php?viewID=86|title=Living Legends: Curtis Joubert|publisher=acadianmuseum.com|accessdate=December 9, 2013}}</ref>
