Overview
At Saint Ambrose, our mission is to provide our children with an excellent education - both in the academic sense as well as in the teachings and ways of the Catholic faith.
We provide educational and religious instruction to students in the Old Bridge and surrounding areas from the Pre-K level until the 8th grade.
We have declared at St. Ambrose School 2006-2007 to be a school year focusing on the development and enhancement of the writing skills of our students.
We strive to provide our children with outstanding teachings, academically and in the teachings and ways of the Catholic faith, by providing all of our children a nurturing, challenging and safe environment.
Our philosophy can be summed up by our motto: "Everything we do, we do for our children".
St. Thomas School stresses the value of self-discipline and commitment.
Faculty and staff are role models who share their faith, talents, and time.
The students of St. Thomas School are guided daily in the practice of their faith.
As a faith community, we emphasize those values that encourage students to accept others rather than exclude them, to understand the difference between right and wrong, and to commit themselves to serve God by serving others.
A Catholic education is a challenging education. High standards, strong motivation, effective discipline and an atmosphere of caring combine to foster excellence.
