Catholic Schools are a vital part of the teaching mission of the Church. It is through the Catholic school that the faith is fostered and transmitted to new generations. Because Catholic schools promote the importance of integrating the Catholic Faith with the educational process, the Church considers schools the primary vehicle for promoting its teaching ministry.
The Catholic schools of the Diocese of Metuchen reflect the hallmarks of Catholic education: strong faith formation, strong academic programs, a commitment to professional development, strong financial bases and effective governance.

The Catholic schools of the Diocese of Metuchen are preparing our students for the challenges of the 21st century by giving them a firm faith foundation and strong academic background.
