St. Joseph School


St. Joseph School has been providing a faith based quality education for the past 128 years. St. Joseph School is a Franciscan parish school serving the surrounding communities of East Rutherford. Many young people and their families have come through our doors and exited with the foundation to build a life of value and success. We invite you to come see what makes our school unique!

We would love the opportunity to show you our school and the family oriented environment that St. Joseph offers. We look forward to your visit to our school to experience our learning process and meet our amazing faculty. Students are welcome to come and spend the day in our classrooms.
