About us

Faith and knowledge meet in many places. The place you can be certain of their meeting is in a Catholic school.

Catholic education is an expression of the mission entrusted by Jesus to the Church. Through education, the Church seeks to prepare children and their families to proclaim the Good News, and to translate this proclamation into action. Our Catholic schools afford an opportunity to realize the threefold purpose of Christian education among young people – message, community, and service.

The Office of the Superintendent of Schools is committed to the promotion, preservation, and growth of all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese, whether parochial, private, Religious Community-owned, or regional, and strives for the development of programs of excellence that convey the message of Christ and prepare students for life.

As ministers in the Office of the Superintendent of Schools of the Archdiocese of Newark:

• We commit to shaping the future of our students by cultivating Catholic School Leadership.
• We serve as catalyst and resource by providing vision, direction and service in a collaborative mode.
• We act in the spirit of the Gospels and in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
