Immaculate Conception School Information

Immaculate Conception Parish, which served children in three-year-old preschool, In August 1999, Bishop Breen approved the establishment of a parish grammar school at Immaculate Conception. Immaculate Conception School opened its doors in the Fall of 2001 to children entering three-year-old preschool through fourth grade. In the Fall of 2002, our new school building opened and now serves students in three-year-old preschool through eighth grade. Every child is a reflection of the image and likeness of God. That reflection comes to fruition in the love of our parish families. At Immaculate Conception School, we seek to fulfill our mission by being the extension of Christ the Teacher as we partner with parents and extended family. We are guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church and the Diocese of Metuchen in order to teach our children the virtues of faith, hope and charity. With these tools, each child can go forth to develop his or her potential as a Christian in a secular world. Immaculate Conception School is a faith community in which the development of our faith is central to the curriculum. The school environment reflects the Gospel spirit and the presence of Jesus. The spiritual aspects of the curriculum are expressed through Christian values in religious instruction, the daily word in prayer, the celebration of the sacraments, general academics and the interpersonal relationships between students and adults. As a community of faith, a supportive relationship between parent and teacher is strongly encouraged to promote academic progress and home school faith-sharing activities. Religious values are woven throughout the integrated curriculum and daily activities creating a unique learning atmosphere. Moral and ethical development is supported through community service, justice and peacemaking.
