When looking for a school for our son to attend, my husband and I sat down to really think about what was important to us to give him the best educational experience.
St. Benedict School checked off every box!
A safe environment where we felt comfortable to leave our child everyday.
A smaller class size that helps to deliver individual attention to children learning at different paces.
The availability of support and services for children that may need additional academic help.
An environment where they are reminded of the influence of God, morals, and important values everyday.
St. Benedict is so much more than just what we had on our list!
Our community embodies tremendous school spirit. They love their school! Pep rallies are an exciting time for the kids. My son to this day, talks about the excitement of being present for the unveiling of the new athletic logo. We love to attend events hosted by our school parent/child dances, polar plunge, our yearly carnival, ice cream socials and many other fun events put together by our amazing Principal, teachers, staff & PTA. The loving relationship present between our wonderful teachers and students are a blessing. The dedication they give to our children to help them succeed is much appreciated. Our children learn to work together and build each other up. They stand united in promoting Unity Day. A day where they are all together in support against bullying. For our youngest students entering school SBS has buddy program to help them transition in during what could be a scary time.
At St. Benedict we also take pride in our commitment to serve the community donating to Saint Vincent de Paul food pantry, CHOP pajama day, clothing and toy drives and many other charities. We have built amazing long-lasting friendships that have now become family. I can’t imagine life without St. Benedict.

When I moved back to central NJ, I knew that my children would always attend St. Benedict School in Holmdel. I had attended K-8 there and wanted to give my children the same educational & spiritual experience. At present, I have 2 children at St. Benedict’s School and I couldn’t be happier with the choice we have made for them. St. Benedict continues to provide a family atmosphere, spiritual growth and academic excellence that is unmatched. We realize that we have many options where we can send our children to school however, in today's world, our family truly values the continuous religious instruction, respectful and caring learning environment that no doubt will provide a solid foundation for them, for life. Year after year, we continue to choose St. Benedict School for them.
