St. Benedict School: PreK 3 to 8

A Foundation for Life

 St. Benedict School follows the challenging curriculums instituted by the Diocesan Department of Catholic Schools in ELA, mathematics, social studies, science, and religion.  In addition, we offer the following exploratory subjects: STEM, Spanish, art, music, health and physical education, and computers.  To meet the academic needs of a diverse student body, our teachers incorporate differentiated instruction in their lesson planning; through the Monmouth-Ocean Educational Services Commission, we provide additional services for students who are classified.  As we continue to integrate technological tools into our academic programs, students have access to devices such as iPads and 1:1 Chromebooks (Grades 3-8) which connect them to the web-based programs that accompany their textbooks and various online subscription services that facilitate individualized learning.  The Great Outdoor Learning Center opened in September 2020 further expanded the campus learning environment with the construction of outdoor classroom spaces while helping to implement COVID-19 mitigation strategies.

St. Benedict offers a wide variety of extracurricular clubs and activities, an active sports program, and an arts program that encompasses musical, visual, and dramatic arts. Throughout the school year, our teachers encourage students to put their faith into action by learning about the world beyond their immediate community and participating in service projects. The net result of these programs is a graduating eighth grader who is well-rounded and prepared to take the next step into high school.
