Is your kid getting ready for high school and is not sure where to go or where you should send…read morethem? I suggest taking a look at Paramus Catholic High School, home of the Paladins! I went to high school here 5 years ago and absolutely loved every minute of it! They have great teachers and is a great prep school for college! Teachers and staff and very helpful, nice and full of knowledge! No time is lost in the classrooms here, they are always planned out perfectly! To top it off, there is a unique and wide variety of classes a student may choose to take! Grant it, tuition is A LOT of money but its worth every penny! The campus in general is just beautiful and it keeps getting better and better over the years! They have tons of sports teams and clubs to join! Great place to meet people from all over! They also don't let just anybody in, they have an admission process which is higly competitive. Transportation is available by school bus, cars and even the NJ transit bus goes right by the school as well! It won't hurt you to take a look at the school, they have tons of open houses and they also let you visit the school for the day as well if you are in 8th grade!

This school is the reason why I chose to send my kids to public school. Paramus Catholic is…read moreoverpriced, overrated, & stuck up. Too much focus is put on discipline & not enough on individualized learning. Also, for the cost of tuition, the school has limited resources. Yes, it's a private school, but in my opinion, public school has so much more to offer, including a more open-minded, well rounded, realistic view of the world. Honestly, every school has its problems. I don't care if it's in the wealthiest town in Bergen County. Save your money. It all comes down to how you raise your children.

They take your child's safety as top priority which was very important to me. You must be buzzed in to enter the school. You must provide photo ID of of anyone who's authorized to drop or pick up your child (including the parents pics). The class your child is in will have a certified teacher and 1-2 aides depending of class size. The teacher has a daily schedule and it's nicely structured. The communication between parents and the staff is easy and detailed. You must sign to drop and pick up your child. Also the tuition is reasonable, not breaking the bank like other chain places. They offer full day or half day, full week or half week. My daughter really enjoyed going here.

It's a truly enriching environment where you see your children grow exponentially, truly! Now I can say It's even better the second time around with your grandchildren as my grandson is graduating this year from Class 5! I also remember every single day of my daughter's years there and her darling cousin. They both had fabulous experiences with the original cast and crew. My sister and I went to help class 3 bake and gave the girls teacher a block of dough! They were wonderful about it and we all had a good laugh. The children come home and tell the parents everything so you know the staff is amazing! I love my grandson's teachers. They are amazing as are all grades. He teaches me about space and more! Oh, we all started with the toddler class and recommend it highly. Best place for your little ones to begin and you can peek in! 5 stars don't look further! I didnt even mention the enrichment programs with music and dance and more. I especially love the chicks that hatch each year. I remember it from my childhood. They are the best!

My granddaughter is just finishing up her first year at Palisades Preschool in the Toddler 2s…read moreprogram. She started in September with three full days a week and loved it so much her parents increased her to five days. This was her very first time away from home, and the teachers were incredibly kind and reassuring. We were worried in the beginning about how she would adjust, but they sent sweet photos of her being comforted and held, and thanks to their warmth and patience, she adjusted beautifully. Before long, she was eagerly looking forward to school each day! She adores all the special classes, but music with Miss Momo on Fridays is definitely her favorite. One of the highlights of the year was the holiday show they performed for the families. Seeing those little ones dressed as elves, singing, and shaking their instruments putting their whole hearts into it was absolutely precious. Our granddaughter has truly blossomed at Palisades Preschool. She's become quite the social butterfly and talks all the time about her friends at school. The teachers often send photos and videos during the day, and it's so clear from those big smiles that the kids are having the time of their lives while learning and growing. On days that I pick her up from school, I'm amazed at how joyful and excited all the children are at Palisades Preschool. It's been such a wonderful year, and while we're a little sad to see it end, we're thrilled she'll be joining the summer camp and moving on to the 3s class this fall.

Our 2 kids went to Blue Rock during 7th & 8th grades. We have a strong appreciation of the importance of the Blue Rock experience.

I asked my kid why and he said that his 8th grade teacher never choose on him. I mean yes l understand that there other kids but he told me that even if he was the only one raising his hand she would not choose him and wait till another student raise their hand, then she would choose them! Not my son who raised his hand for like 2 minutes. Also, here they switch and my sons LA, l believe it was Ms.Fox and she would not call him! Again, no teacher would call on my son only the math teacher! I think you should talk to those teachers.

The teachers are kind and very knowledgeable about what it takes to help students learn to the best of their ability. I saw students paying attention and actually LEARNING! I think it was the way the teachers kept their students' interests and the level of engagement in the classroom. I am particularly impressed with the friendliness of the staff- they are very approachable and I think that is important in a school community. I am excited to have found this school. ALSO I want to emphasize how much I love that this is a public charter school. Their curriculum is slightly different than a "traditional" public school. The teachers are given freedom to teach in more creative ways (I think that why the kids seemed more involved) - I looked at a great number of schools, but this one really impressed me. I am very excited about Golden Door.

The owner knows every kid's name and addresses them each in a way that makes them feel special and important. When I visited the school, the owner took a lot of time showing me all the different types of activities and what skill each exercise is trying to achieve. And they rotate all the activities and stations very periodically so it is always fresh and new and the kids don't memorize the answers or get bored. I was also impressed with how the school will help with suggesting other places in the area for other interests, and even other preschools, if this is not the one for you!

There are real montessori schools in the area which are much healthier environments. Run.
