The school is a really unique environment utilizing the classical model to help a child think more interdisciplinary, critically, and faithfully. I've met many wonderful, passionate, and hard-working teachers during my time here. The community is very supportive. The students are smart, kind, and curious about learning. read more

My son attended 4th through 8th grade. He was accepted into every private Catholic HS, chose Jesuit. The teachers are amazing, he learned how to write from Ms. A better than any of his Jesuit buddies. He learned how to read, analyze and discuss rigorous primary sources. Loved Jones's passion for learning/humor. Loved Latin class and tested into Latin 2 at Jesuit. Learned to love music and read music through the band experience where he still plays with Jazz band on Tuesday nights. Participated in archery, soccer, CC, track, baseball, BB & VB. His VB experience was a springboard for his love and allowed him to make club VB as well as HS VB at Jesuit. His experience as a school ambassador gave him the confidence to communicate with a purpose and leadership. His inclusion in NJHS, class officer, yearbook, alter server, Veterans Day poetry competition, Wreaths Across America allowed him to have the confidence. You could not make a better sacrifice for your family. Find a way to do it! read more

Avoid this school until the leadership changes. The idea of a classical education is outstanding, and much needed. Unfortunately, St. Paul does not have the leadership or the quality of faculty to pull it off in a manner that benefits the children. Teachers are leaving, many of their top students are exiting, and the overall education is not worth paying for. Sadly, the focus is on petty discipline of the students as a way to distract from the failures of the teachers and overall environment. At the end of this past year, they began having daily mass from 8am-9am, and tried to sell it to the parents as a form of spiritual enhancement. In reality, it appears to be a coverup of the fact that they don't have the resources to offer quality academics, hence the offering of more mass. If you interview at this school and are considering it as an option for your child, get everything in writing from the principal. In our interview (we were there one year), I was told there was an honors math teacher and program, which was very important since my daughter came from a STEM school. It wasn't until November when I found out that the honors math teacher had left over the prior summer. I found out when my daughter told me she was "assembling Legos" when I asked her how her math tutoring went on a particular day after I picked her up from school--the school never informed me, and when I reached out to the principal about the honors math program my email was ignored and I never received a reply. Avoid this school until it is cleaned up and the current "leadership" is replaced. Many blessings to all. read more

Loving, accepting environment for all. School is creative, classical, supportive, disciplined and joyful.

What I like most about this school is that the class sizes are smaller so the teacher are more focused on the student. Some kids will excel quicker than others , like my child , he was a bit behind the learning curve for 2nd grade , the teacher spent her own time to really meet with the parents and gave my boy personalize attention.. I'm not catholic myself , but the teaching in religion is a plus for our young kids these days , I would rather have them believe in a religion and faith base , rather than getting influenced by the crazy things in the outside world . Teachers and staff are wonderful and they focus on the children's learning experience rather than their own personal or political view. Great school ! read more

This church service reminds me of my youth. A lovely service where the priest talks to the congregation verses watching it on a big screen. The facility has been meticulously maintained and has so much charm. read more

Why my family choose St Paul... Simple answer, God called us to this second home. It was and still is a lot of prayer to be part of St Paul school. The school is a second home to us, the family and the teachers that are/were there all contributed to that. We all have different level of expectations, but for us, the quality of academic and spiritual teaching they provide meet our expectations. Another benefits - smaller size and the down to earth people that you'll met is a wonderful experience. My kids were involved on school sports. After school activities - orchestra, science, girls on the run. There are challenges and I am sure all school continue to face those, whether it is big or small. However, I know that God does not abandon us. With God's grace through ups and downs experiences, He has continuously brought together good families and teachers to serve and follow Him. One of the things that my kids continuously learning, is to not be afraid to take on challenges, difficulties and hard times. Most of all to remember that God is there with us through our trials and triumphs in life. As Paulinian(St Paul)/Packer family, we are not looking only at what the school can provide to us, but what we can also contribute to make St Paul School better and grow. The families at St Paul helped each other. God has taught me and my family resiliency through hard times and we know He doesn't abandon those who seek Him first. I pray you'll receive God's blessing to find the right school for you through this teaching of St Paul... "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness". read more

Our son transferred in this year as a 6th grader and we feel it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. The academics are very strong, his teachers are so positive and passionate about their subjects, and we love that the top priority is living a Christian, loving life. We are so grateful to the St. Paul community! read more

This school has exceeded our expectations. Having exclusively used the public school system for our three older children, I didn't really know what to expect for our private school experience. We enrolled our Kindergartner in August and it has been amazing. They connected us with an existing family to help with any questions we have regarding the various events and activities at the school. They provide additional instruction for both gifted and struggling students through the Packer Lab. There are tons of extracurricular activities offered. We are made to feel like one big family and there are always opportunities to participate and volunteer. We are planning to switch our high school student to private school next year and our youngest will be joining the St. Paul Family next year. read more

We started here in middle school. The team of middle school teachers is amazing! They work together and transition the kids from 6th through 8th grade in a smooth manner and prepare the kids for high school, paying attention to each of their individual needs. Great experience! Close family environment too. read more

We toured 30 preschools looking for the right fit. Little did we know we'd end up finding a great school our kid could be at for the next 10 years! After attending 2 other full time preschools, with lots of teacher turnaround and disorganization; we were thrilled to end up at St.Paul. It is such a refreshing change. Great teachers, staff, engaging principal, indoor gym, outside play area, and awesome family involvement. My daughter has made great friends there but so have we. It's a great community of families that coupled with the school, make a warm and exciting learning environment. I cannot say enough about the school. It's great, and you don't even have to be catholic. read more

Saint Paul the Apostle School is not just a school but it is a family. Our daughter started in PreK3 and she has flourished attending there. I love all their traditions and the high expectations they have for their students. I feel like we are blessed to be apart of such a great school and look forward to many more years to come at SPS! read more

The experience I, along with my family has been nothing but exceptional. My daughter has attend St Paul since 1st grade (3 years now at SPS) and the teachers are just wonderful. I highly recommend this school and this is a great community to be apart of. read more

This is a horrible school. The people are very ignorant, especially when it comes to manners. The teachers are very biased and show favoritism. By just taking a tour of this school, I noticed that these people act like they have never seen Hispanics before. read more

We started our kids at St. Paul when they were three and four, as they have an all day Prek 3 and Prek4 program (cheaper than most daycares for SURE!). Growing up in the private school world and teaching at another private school myself, I am beyond pleased with our experience. Our kids feel safe, welcomed, and the ethnic diversity is genuine. At first I thought we had the best teachers those early years, but each year we felt, "Wow, the teachers are great at every level!" The kids are really LEARNING- not just academics, but faith and character as well. The principal is easy to get in touch with (she answered an email of mine within 30 minutes), and the parents really have a voice. It's nice to have a school where you see the students grow up to be respectful, responsible, and kind to the younger students at the school. You will be hard pressed to find another school of this caliber at this price. In fact, you won't. St. Paul truly is a gem. read more
