St. Andrew Elementary School

I taught in St. Andrews for a couple years, I liked a lot that is why my daughter goes there. Discipline, values and great education! It's a big family and the parents always are aware of the activities which makes a great influence on the kids.

My daughter has been at St. Andrew's since Pre-K. The staff is highly qualified. They take the time to understand each child and help them reach their goals and realize their talents. The school still has the presence of the Presentation sisters who began the school over 55 years ago. The academics are strong,with many extra activities. The school is a very friendly community of parents who are open to everyone. The school has a New Family Mentor Program, we never saw anything like this before at other schools. When you sign up a parent calls you and helps you through the process. It sure was nice to have a new friend. We will never leave.

A parent at St. Andrew's for 13 years. Teachers are highly qualified, parents are very involved in education here. Academics are excellent, there are music, art, computer classes for all students and a full library. Student special needs are met by remedial teachers, school counselor, and nurse as needed. The atmosphere in the school is warm, inviting, and accepting of everyone. There are morning and afternoon care programs that really help working families. The level of turn over of staff, including teachers, remedial, after care, etc. has been extremely low in 13 years which is a testament to the satisfaction of everyone involved with the school. Lastly, St. Andrew's is Middle States Accredited and has been awarded Star School status by the Paterson Diocese. Both greatly deserved by this excellent school.
