I graduated from SJRS in 2011 and went on to a public high school. This school has its share of positives and negatives. I was challenged academically, and have a solid English and writing background because I attended this school. Their mathematics and science curriculums could have been stronger. Their foreign language and religious education classes were creatively designed and well directed. These classes are truly what separates SJRS from a standard public education. At SJRS every student is paired up with an older or younger student as their "buddy" and the pairs do projects and attend mass together. I personally loved this, and six years after graduating I am still in contact with the little girl I was paired with. The buddy experience was one of the first stepping stones in guiding me to my profession of teaching. When you begin your journey in Pre-K, you are with that same group of students until you graduate. Your child's experience will seriously be depicted by the class they fall into. The personalities in my class did not blend well together, but some other classes were very friendly and worked well together. Saint John Regional prepared me for high school by challenging me in several subjects, and although the workload was hefty I was well prepared for the amount of work I received in high school. I would take a tour, meet the faculty, and your child's potential class. This school could be a great opportunity for your children.

Amazing school. A great education and religious tradition which provided me the foundation to succeed in high school, college, and beyond. Open to those who aren't Catholic as well so it is an inclusive community. Love this place and the teachers. Class of 2001.

Both of my son's have gone here. For both of them it has been a fantastic experience. Not only does St. John Regional School provide a quality catholic education, it has a great staff with years of education experience. The teachers know how to work with students at different levels while fostering a caring community within the student body. Parents provide additional support on the Advisory board, Sports Committee, PTO and in many other roles.I feel that my High Schooler entered CHS more prepared than he would have been going to other Elementary and Jr High Schools. I have and will continue to recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality education experience.
