GROW. THRIVE. EXCEL.
Paramus Catholic's Distinctive QualitiesWe are one of the few private, co-educational schools in the area. Many find that learning and personal skills can be enhanced by positive, healthy interaction between girls and boys, as well as by students’ experiences with both male and female faculty. This can lead to a greater sense of belonging among students, which can decrease the chance of some feeling “left out” or “not fitting in”.
Paramus Catholic provides a structured and secure environment that is conducive to learning, personal maturation, and respect for individual differences. Our positive discipline system clearly informs students of the expectations which we have for them, yet invites them to become a part of the school through pride and positive involvement.
Paramus Catholic is large enough to offer a comprehensive program of course offerings and activities, yet we are still focused on responding to the individual needs of students. These are challenging times for Catholic schools.
The depth of Individual Needs Met:
How New Jersey’s largest private school remains focused on individual attention
Because of its size, PC can:
- sustain a large variety of extracurricular activities
- maintain cost-effective operations and a history of small tuition increases
- offer an impressive variety of 141 courses, including 29 Honors and 21 AP
- be more and more inclusive, as there is a place for every student to connect with faculty and friend
