The education coupled with the Christian tradition and the array of activities gave my children a well-rounded education. The teachers are dedicated to their students. Many also coach teams or moderate clubs after school. They provide "extra help" to students who require it. They don't leave when the bell rings. Graduates have gone on to top notch schools as well as middle tier schools and also RCC, just as students who have graduated from the New Jersey Catholic schools or the NY public schools. Graduates have received ample scholarships for academic performance and have been awarded significant financial aid awards too. Albertus tuition is significantly less than their New Jersey Catholic school counterparts. When deciding on a high school for your child, the best approach is to contact each school under consideration, ask for their college data, read their brochures, check out the websites, talk with teachers, current parents, students, and graduates. Also arrange for your child to visit for a day to get a feel for the atmosphere. Attend a sports contest, concert, play, or art show. These are usually advertised. If you and your child are lucky enough to make the "right" decision (best school for your child and it may not necessarily be Albertus Magnus), you will know when he or she says as my student did, "I love Albertus!"

Rockland County is full of exceptional public schools with more resources and better teachers. Even…read moreif you are looking for a Catholic Education experience, there are a number of top schools in Bergen County, New Jersey that are far more worth your tuition money and have much better collegiate connections. I wouldn't waste your time or hard earned money on Albertus Magnus. Most of the educators there are simply unable to find a "real" job in a public school, and the rest are just there temporarily to gain experience so that they can move on. There no longer exists the teachers that are there for the students and plan on sticking around to guide them through their formidable years and assist in the transition to college. The guidance department is a complete sham with hardly any experience, knowledge or contacts. My advice, either save your money or spend it on a REAL school.

Our 2 kids went to Blue Rock during 7th & 8th grades. We have a strong appreciation of the importance of the Blue Rock experience. Public schools have such an emphasis on grades and testing, which creates so much stress and anxiety associated with learning. Blue Rock builds a love for learning.

The staff is amazing with the student's needs and adamant in making sure they are all benefiting from the school's high standards and advanced curriculum. My pre-schooler is excited to be able to read site words and challenges herself with the math skills already implemented in class every day. My other student does not cease to impress me with the quality of her work load and high expectations from her teachers. I enjoy and often challenge myself with her homework, book reports and projects. I am very satisfied and truly recommend the quality education offered here in Cornerstone Christian School for ALL grades/ages.
