St. Francis of Assisi School

The children are happy and the parents are wonderful! The family atmosphere of our school stretches beyond the schoolgrounds into the community. Teaching at St. Francis is a dream come true!

My son has been attending this school since 1st grade and our family just love the school. They have everything that you want in a catholic school, they have great teachers and small student body that makes the relationship between teachers and parents to be the best and ultimately benefits the students. They're making our job a lot easier by teaching our son the path to God and he has become an excellent student and a great person. Father Lance is an excellent priest that brings lots of knowledge and respect to the school. We just can not say enough of our school and I'm sure that any new comers will be saying the same thing.

Teachers really care about what they do at this school. They are unfortunately not motivated by the salary. They are motivated by wanting to help our children. This is a very special school.

I love St. Francis. I personally attended this school from kintergarten to eighth grade. However, I had to leave in the middle of my last year there. Moving to a different state and into two of this nation's public schools, the difference was clearly obvious. With the exception of Math and Science (which is average), every other subject studied at this fine school are a step ahead from the rest. St.Francis also teaches fundemental values and adheres to moral principles in a world that is lacking. Let your children attend this school for the base needed to go about the rest of our lives. Everyone there-students, teachers, and parents are like family. Teachers and students interact more. Everyone welcomes you with open arms no matter your race, religion, or age. Your child will make life-long, supportive friends especially since he or she will remain with this peer group for multiple years.

My children love waking up in the morning and going to school. Their faith based education is not comparable anywhere else. I have done my homework and compared St. Francis to neighboring schools and they come way up on top! What a great school with the Total Package!

The academics at St. Francis when compared to Haskell and St. Francis School are significantly different - that is noticed quickly when speaking to the parents of children that attend the Wanaque and/or Haskell public school! The class work, home work and tests given at St. Francis are so much more advanced then that at either of the town s public schools. My daughter loves going to school (and she is in the forth grade)!
