The teachers and counselors care tremendously about each student and help them to achieve success by guiding them and being available when needed. Comparing to his twin who is in a highly competitive and highly rated public school, I can truly compare and say he is more advanced and organized academically. The academics are rigorous, more so than many public schools and definitely prepares them for college.

They are engaging in the classroom with discussions and participation versus just listening and taking notes. The teachers treat them with respect and the classroom environment is more in line with a mature college environment versus the policing that happens at public schools. We are in a highly ranked public school district so it was hard to decide to send him here but so glad we made that decision. He has thrived here academically compared to his public school experience. Parent: Oratory has been a great experience for my son. And those of us who no longer live in Bergen County can now stream the football games! We stay connected. I am part of a network that exchanges news of Bergen Catholic sports teams with fellow alums across the country.

There are opportunities for mentoring current students as well as young graduates seeking advice on their careers.įinally, BC has excellent athletic programs both for students and for alums who use them as get togethers with fellow alums. And like a family, Bergen Catholic provides many opportunities for alumni to come back to the school not only to meet old friends but also to give back. Bergen Catholic graduates have leadership roles in many diverse areas and there is always a special bond when you meet another BC alum.

That is reason enough to be thankful for having gone there.īut it is also a lifetime experience. Alum: Bergen Catholic provided me with an excellent education which enabled me to get admitted to six of the best engineering schools in the country.
