Catholic Elementary School in River Edge, New Jersey

St. Peter Academy, in River Edge, New Jersey, is the area's celebrated, Catholic elementary school. Since 1952, we have continued to offer education through Christ. Email or visit us for information on school tuition, curriculum, or events.

A Focus on Faith
St. Peter Academy is a co-sponsored elementary school providing an education that not only offers quality academic programs, but also formation in the beliefs and traditions of our Catholic faith.

We pride ourselves on being a loving and family oriented school.

Students come from all over, not just our area, to learn from teachers and instructors who are all state certified educators. 

We use the most updated technology, and profess a mission dedicated to comprehensive education to assure all students are receiving the best possible care and attention.

The Superintendent, Dr. Margaret Dames has asked that we share the following with you:

"There is no truth to the rumor that Saint Peter Academy will be closing.  The Academy is strong, alive, and well.  The student population is growing steadily and I believe the school will be home to the students of Bergen County for many years to come."

If anyone hears of rumors about St. Peter Academy closing, please be sure to correct this misinformation!
