St. Charles Borromeo Parish School provides a high-quality academic and religious education for boys and girls in grades PreK-3 through 8th grade. Operating within the Diocese of Trenton, St. Charles is accredited by the Middle States

SCHOOL STRUCTURE
We offer a tailored focus on four educational groups - early childhood, primary, upper elementary and middle grades - to meet the unique academic and social needs of children at these stages of development.

FACULTY, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION
Our certified teachers provide a nurturing atmosphere and serve as models of Christian life to both students and parents.

CLASS SIZE
Our teacher/student ratio averages 1/18 students.

Designed by the Diocese of Trenton, our curriculum is aligned with New Jersey Core Curriculum Content as well as national standards. Faith values are integrated into all curriculum areas. In addition to traditional subjects, weekly instruction is offered to all students in Music, Art, Physical Education, Library, Computer Technology, and Spanish. Supplemental and Compensatory Education programs are also available for students needing extra support.

We offer daily religion instruction in grades PreK-3 to 8; prayer and reflection; class and school liturgies; sacramental preparation; Catholic traditions, including Advent, Stations of the Cross, May Crowning, etc.; and
