Who We Are
We are a community of schools bound by a commitment to faith-based education and a common curriculum. At the same time, we celebrate the distinct culture and areas of focus that make every South Jersey Catholic school unique.
We encourage you to explore our schools and find the right fit.
The Diocese of Camden proudly sponsors 25 elementary schools and five high schools throughout Southern New Jersey. Three private high schools offer additional options for families seeking a Catholic education.
South Jersey Catholic Schools are filled with administrators, faculty and staff members who dedicate every day to our mission, helping young minds grow spiritually, academically and in service to others. Many of our teachers have advanced degrees and/or come to our schools with career experience in areas such as business, law, medicine, technology and the arts. Our students are eager learners, growing in faith and knowledge and seeking ways to make a difference in their communities.
