ABOUT US

The mission of St. Bartholomew School is to achieve academic excellence by meeting the educational needs of all students.  We prepare pupils to become contributing, responsible citizens of the twenty-first century.  St. Bartholomew School invites, challenges, and encourages all students to accept and apply the gospel message of Jesus Christ in their lives. 

St. Bartholomew School opened its doors in September, 1954, for grades one through three, with an enrollment of four hundred fifty.  The school was staffed by the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer.  In ensuing years, grades four through eight were added, with the first eighth grade class graduated in June, 1960.  By 1960, there were four classes of each grade and a student population of one thousand, four hundred ninety-four.  In 1979, the first kindergarten class opened, and in 1988 a preschool was added.  Currently we have preschool sessions for three and four year old children.

The educational program at St. Bartholomew School aims to provide excellence in academic and Catholic education.  We fully support the spiritual, educational, personal, social, emotional, and physical development of each child.  Our teachers gear the classroom environment toward the stimulation of a child's desire for knowledge.  The student is encouraged to carry this longing into adult life.

SAINT BARTHOLOMEW SCHOOL IS FULLY ACCREDITED BY THE MIDDLE STATES ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS AND IS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
