Dear Parents,

I am delighted by your interest in St. Vincent Martyr School located in scenic Morris County. We are proud of our school’s rich spiritual and academic heritage, dating back to its founding in 1848 and making it the oldest Catholic school in the diocese of Paterson. Fully accredited by the Middle Atlantic States Association of Universities, Colleges and Schools, we received the prestigious "No School Left Behind" Blue Ribbon School designation in 2005.

At the present time we serve over four hundred students who attend our pre-kindergarten through grade six programs. Due to parental requests it is anticipated that a seventh grade section will be offered for the 2008-2009 academic year, with an eighth grade class being added for the 2009-2010 school year. We offer a pre-school program for three, four and five year old youngsters. Students entering our full day kindergarten must be five on or before October 1.

High academic standards challenge all of our students to reach their full potential, and a respectful, cooperative environment helps prepare youngsters to become productive members of society. Weekly mass and prayer services combined with daily prayer, reinforce our religious traditions. A full academic program plus religion, art, music, physical education, computers, Spanish, and enrichment activities are offered to all students.

Dedicated teachers, cooperative parents and enthusiastic students help us attain our goal of developing a strong academic and spiritual foundation for all of our students.

You are most welcome to schedule a visit to our school so that you can experience first hand what our children recite each day, “We are the children of God, and our mission at St. Vincent Martyr School is to develop our minds, bodies and hearts with Jesus always by our side.”  Please contact our Director of Admissions, Mrs. Mary Brooks at extension 203 to schedule an appointment.

Sincerely,

Barbara B. Doyle, Principal
