Faith

As a Catholic school in southern New Jersey, our students learn about and live their Catholic faith. Religion is not just a subject taught; it is a lived experience that permeates all subjects.

Developing the community's life in partnership with parents is paramount at Guardian Angels Regional School. Participation in the surrounding community parishes supports our religious curriculum. Students in every grade are afforded opportunities to participate in numerous outreach activities at the local level. These many opportunities strengthen students' awareness of their Guardian Angel's commitment to share their gifts and resources with those in need.

Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-Kindergarten at Guardian Angels Regional School is just the beginning of a lifelong learning journey. Our program consists of specially designed educational experiences that seek to stimulate, assist, and support the skills needed for entering Kindergarten.

The program provides a wide range of developmentally appropriate experiences that young children need to be successful. In addition to using the Preschool Teaching and Learnings Expectations: Standards of Quality developed by the New Jersey Department of Education, Guardian Angels Regional School incorporates solid religious instruction, doctrine, and Catholic values into the curriculum.

Academics

Guardian Angels Regional School's academic programs are challenging and exciting. From the beginning of our Pre-Kindergarten classes, our teachers are engaged with each student.

Differentiated teaching methods serve to meet the various learning styles of the students.

The foundation for all learning begins with the fundamentals of reading, math, and grammar skills. As the student progresses from year to year, the basic skills are built upon, and the student's academic growth evolves.

Guardian Angels Regional School uses various teaching methods to build our students' knowledge of our core curricular subjects, thereby developing the whole student.

Core curriculum subjects include reading, math, language arts, science, social studies, and religion. The following subjects are taught in addition to the core curriculum: spelling, vocabulary, and handwriting.

Co-curricular subjects include Art, Music Theory, Physical Education, Technology, and World Language.
