The community you feel: Saints Simon and Jude School, a vibrant part of our parish, opened its doors in September 1962. Since its opening, our school has expanded to meet the ever-evolving educational needs of the children in our area. Our school family is comprised of our three and four-year-old preschoolers and kindergarten through grade eight students. We are blessed to have dedicated priests, parishioners, faculty, staff, parents, and students who share their time, talent, and treasure to make Saints Simon and Jude School a strong beacon of learning. Our committed School Board, devoted Home and School Association and zealous volunteers, for various curricular and extra-curricular programs, create a positive impact in ensuring that our school continues to thrive.
The lessons you love: The Archdiocese of Philadelphia curriculum guidelines provide the course of study for our academic learnings. In addition to the pursuit of academics, our students progress in their faith life and social skills equipping them for success in the future. Our students in kindergarten through grade eight have a school issued Chromebook for their daily use, which aids them in their scholarly pursuits and prepares them for the ever-changing technological world in which we live.
