Welcome to
St. Anthony School
The mission of the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Paterson is to develop communities that are Christ-centered, academically excellent and welcoming that enable students to be life-long learners and good citizens of the world.
At St. Anthony School, we create an empowering family atmosphere that ignites motivation and compassion.
Committed to the Salesian Sisters philosophy of education, our belief is that each child is made in the image and likeness of God and that each child has the right and responsibility to fully develop their intellectual, social, spiritual and moral potential. Our Faculty guides and motivates our students to become independent, self-directed, responsible and respectful learners, who choose to take personal responsibility for their education.
Our standardized test scores are well above the national average. As a direct result of our students academic excellence, our graduates consistently place in honors and advanced classes when entering the high schools of their choice. The teaching staff continuously engage in professional development activities to compliment their many years of teaching experience.
The interest, support and involvement of our Pastor, priests, deacons, parish staff and parishioners enrich our program and make our many initiatives possible. While the energy, creativity and expertise of our parents in conjunction with our HSA have strengthened all aspects of our academic program and serve as a testament to our communities dedication and commitment to the education of the whole child.
We invite you to learn more about our school by speaking to our parents, faculty and students to hear their personal experiences within our community.
