TESTIMONIALS

"Upon undertaking the monumental decision to enroll our children at St. Vincent de Paul Regional School, we took our time and attended their open house prior to making a final decision. Upon attending the open house and meeting the faculty and staff, my husband and I decided that SVdPRS would serve our needs as well as our children's. Once we decided to send our children to SVdPRS and the school year started, our experience has been positive and we are happy with the progress our daughter has made. The class sizes are conducive to a better learning environment, which we believe results in a higher learning ability. The teachers we have experienced have shown a direct interest in the learning and well-being of our daughter. They keep us informed of progress and areas of need for better progress. As we enter our second year at SVdPRS, the most important thing is that our daughter is happy to attend this wonderful school!"

"Like St. Vincent de Paul, I started my school career in a South Jersey Catholic school. It was St. Joe’s in Sea Isle City, NJ. I loved that school; I loved my friends; I loved the family atmosphere; I loved being with Jesus every day. I loved Sister Jo Ellen, the Principal. However, due to circumstances out of my control, I had to leave that school in 5th grade, and I hated it. I knew in my heart that is what I wanted for my kids someday if I were to be blessed with a family.
Fast forward to when James and I had our children. It took a lot for me to convince him it would be worth the sacrifice of catholic education for our 4 children (actually, when we put our oldest in St. Vincent, Teddy wasn't even born yet). We could see the kids at church from the school, they showed how much love they had for the faith and that was important to James, so it was enough. And from there our kids blossomed. All 4 of them!
These teachers know our kids so very well, and they always ask after our kids who are no longer in the school. Our family feels truly loved by all. (Even if we drove them crazy at times). I can’t think of a place where my family is more accepted, more cared for, or more loved. We have made some of the closest friends we have at St. Vincents, friends for a lifetime. I tell people this little school is my family. This school gives your children an opportunity to grow as people both academically and in their faith. I knew this was the best thing we could do for our kids, and I can’t recommend it to more people."

"Years ago we considered making this move, and we regret we didn't do it sooner. …The whole school is like a big family. If you go to the school during aftercare you will see the older kids playing with the younger kids. The older children at the school are kind and helpful and are great role models for the younger children. Everyone gets to know you and your children here. We love the small class sizes and that there is only one class per grade. My daughter loves that she will get to be with her same friends next year. The children in her class were welcoming and helpful when she started. She made friends quickly and instantly felt part of the group. I can't stress enough how happy we are to have joined the St Vincent family!"
Jennifer Miller, Parent
"We are very grateful and blessed for SVDPRS. My daughter has learned so much at the school. We most especially love that she is learning more about our Catholic faith and is able to participate in Mass during the week. I loved the fact that she is getting to know different saints and how they live their life in Christ Jesus. She has also become an avid reader since learning how to read from SuperKids in kindergarten. At SVDPRS we have found a wonderful and most supportive community. For any issues or if you need any help, Ms. Pirolli or Mrs. Riordan or Mrs. Veach and or any of the teachers will do their best to help you and give you their support. Just in my daughter's class alone we have our group of families that help each other when it comes to upcoming events and homework. We truly love our SVDPR school community."

"Our daughter transferred from a public school to St. Vincent DePaul Regional School. Since transferring we have witnessed personal and academic growth as well as a stronger relationship with God. St. Vincent’s offers a high-quality education. We have found the teachers and staffcommunicate clear academic and behavioral expectations, which has helped her improve both time management skills and organizational skills. The school offers many opportunities for students to volunteer in the community and parish regardless of religious preference. All students are welcome and included.
When your child comes home excited to tell you that she talked with The Bishop, or that Pastor celebrated mass in her classroom, and played a round of dodge ball, we know by her excitement that we made the best choice. We attribute a lot of her enthusiasm to the positive culture modeled by the teachers and all the staff. When we hear our daughter talk about her school with pride, and describe her school “As a Family”, we are very confident that we made the best choice transferring to St. Vincent’s. If you want your child to receive all the benefits of rigorous academics, a supportive environment, and a faith filled community, reach out to St. Vincent’s!"
Brighid Noel, Parent
"St. Vincent's is not just a school, it's a family. The teachers not only teach an outstanding curriculum, but they also know each and every student by name, even those who are not yet in their classrooms."
Desirree Palumbo, Alumni Parent
“With sending our children to St. Vincent de Paul Regional School, we value the close bonds that our whole family has made. We value the bond our children are able to make with God through class, through the teachers, and through their safe environment. We are at peace knowing that our children are individually cared for & that their needs are met.”
Opalyn Nicholson, Parent

Thank you Linda Pirolli and all the wonderful teachers, workers, volunteers and fellow parents for all your hard work and dedication! St Vincent’s is not just a school, it’s a family."

"St. Vincent De Paul School was my first Catholic school teaching experience and is by far my favorite. I really feel like family here, not only with Miss Pirolli and my colleagues, but also with my students and their families."

"I truly believe my vocation in life is to teach, and I have spent the bulk of my career here at St. Vincent’s because of the family atmosphere that is created by our principal, the students and their families (including grandparents), and the loving faculty members."

"I am fortunate to be assigned to St. Vincent’s for it is more than a school; it is a family." Mrs. Dougherty, Teacher-Basic Skills
