2019 Best Private Schools in Atlantic CountyAbout this List

St. Augustine Preparatory School

• Private School
• Richland, NJ
• 9-12
• 61

Parent: Our son is smart, but not driven. He needed motivation to push him to achieve. He received excellent counseling, guidance, and academic help from the teachers and staff at St. A. Prep. We believe that, because he was neither a “brilliant” nor a “troubled” student, he would have fallen through the cracks at our local public school. Most of his teachers have been great. Some have been truly exceptional. The counselors and academic staff have been priceless.
He loves his school. Bullying at St. A is non exsistant, and all the boys support and look out for one another. It might sound corny, but they truly treat each other as brothers. He is only a sophomore, but I know the next few years will be just as great!

Senior: If it wasn’t for attending Holy Spirit High School, I would not be the person that I am today. As a student, I have seized every opportunity to for extra help or to gain more information from the teacher so that I could becom a better student. As a person, the spiritual and life lessons that Holy Spirit has taught me have been priceless. These lessons have helped be grow as a person and guided me to deepen my faith. The family oriented atmosphere is what makes Holy Spirit special. The teachers, staff, and students truly care about you and want to see you become successful.

Atlantic Christian School

• Private School
• Egg Harbor Township, NJ
• PK, K-12
• 35

Parent: The day we walked into Atlantic Christian School for the first time, we felt it was the right place to have our 4 year old son start school. He is now 17 and he will graduate from ACS next year! We've always felt it was the best decision we made for him. ACS has been a nurturing, safe environment. He has received a quality education and is well prepared to enter college. The faculty and staff know the students and are able to guide, counsel and encourage them. ACS was key in building his strong character and love for God. They have not only prepared him for college, but they have also prepared him for life.

St. Joseph Regional High School

• Private School
• Hammonton, NJ
• 9-12
• 77

Senior: My experience was the same, but different from others experience. At Saint Joseph High School, I was involved in many different clubs and sports teams. Being a smaller school we did not have many people to have a full roster or enough to keep clubs going throughout the year. But, in a way this was a positive, because it brought us all closer together. We became a family.
Entering high school, I remember hearing "it's a family environment". They were not wrong. By having smaller sports teams, clubs and classes, it helped us all come together. I can not walk down the hallway and not know someones name, or what sport they play or interests. If I need help in a class or have a question about something I know that I can go to any of my fellow classmates and they can help me out. Saint Joseph High School is definitely a family environment, and it gave me the best four years of high school.

St. Joseph Regional School

• Private School
• Somers Point, NJ
• PK, K-8
• 4

Niche User: We have 2 girls in SJRS and love it. We believe we are giving our children the best education available in our area and look at the school as an investment in their future.

The girls enjoy going to school and learning. They are excited to come home and tell us some interesting fact they learned that day. We love seeing their passion for knowledge embraced and nurtured by the teachers.

We have always been able to contact the teachers or staff if we had a question or an issue. Because it is a smaller school then public there is a sense of community throughout. The teachers and staff at the school know who the children are; this provides the children with a sense of security, safety, and comfort.

The class sizes may be a bit larger then public schools but every student in the class is there to learn. There are no continued behavioral interruptions during class time. We have never felt our girls we prohibited from learning because of the class size.

One of our favorite things about the school is that it reinforces the values and morals we teach at home. It helps to have a positive atmosphere to counteract all the negative images and stories they see in the media.
