Many parents are turning to St. Mary School not only for the superior education given to all students, but also because we provide the tools necessary to be successful outside the classroom. The concept of “value –based” education is at the heart of St. Mary elementary school’s curriculum. We not only work to help our students achieve academic excellence, we also devote a lot of attention to the thoughtful construction of a child’s character.

The challenging curriculum at St. Mary elementary school meets or exceeds the requirements and standards of the State of New Jersey and The Archdiocese of Newark. Our certified faculty is committed to bringing out the best in their students. The dedicated instructors teach the time-honored basics of the catholic elementary school experience plus a curriculum that has been expanded to keep pace with the times.

Grades K-8 receive instruction in the following subjects:
Religion, Math, Reading, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, Foreign Language (Spanish K-6, Spanish/French Immersion Format 7&8), Art, Music, Computers and Library.
