The Academy of St. Joseph of the Palisades has provided Catholic education in West New York since 1873. Children enter as early as Pre-K3 and can continue through eighth grade. The school belongs to the Archdiocese of Newark and follows its curriculum maps for subjects including mathematics, English language arts and technology. Teachers aim to challenge students academically while adapting instruction to individual needs and working with parents as children's first educators. School life extends beyond regular classes. Teacher-supervised aftercare runs from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and includes a snack, playtime and homework. Students can also join guided arts and crafts or after-school sports such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. Catholic faith shapes the academy's spiritual and community life, while its classroom and enrichment options give families several ways to stay involved. Ask about admission or visit the school at 6408 Palisade Avenue.

Students can get school breakfast and lunch through the district. After school, students in grades 2 to 5 build original creations in our STEAM makerspace, sixth graders learn to code robots, and fifth graders study the science behind crime scene work in our C.S.I. club.
