The Tradition of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School was established in 1879 under the direction of Reverend Theodore McDonald, O.Carm., the third pastor. It was administered by the Sisters of Charity until 1979 and by the Missionary Franciscan Sisters until 2000. The school now has a secular principal; the sacramental programs are under the direction of Sister Regina Chassar. From its beginning, the school has had a positive impact on the parish. Consequently, it has flourished through the years and continues to maintain a stable population with waiting lists for various grades. Academic Excellence: O.L.M.C. meets all New Jersey State Standards. Students are introduced to new tasks through a variety of activities that guides the sequential development of skills. Religion is not only taught formally in the classrooms but permeates the entire academic program. The following subjects are included in the curriculum:
