St. Mary of the Lakes Catholic School began in 1954 with the help of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Newark. Our mission is to provide a spiritually enriching and academically rigorous education. Our faculty, staff, and students appreciate and embrace the gospel values that Jesus taught, which are woven into every class and activity. The practice of charity is promoted through interaction within our community and fosters mutual respect and dignity. We are accredited by Cognia and follow Trenton Diocesan Curricula. Our school includes a PreK 3 & 4-year-old program, Kindergarten, and a 1st - 8th-grade curriculum. We are one of the best private Catholic schools in Burlington County!
