George A. Brown Memorial School, a Roman Catholic parochial school in the Diocese of Paterson, offers programs for children in pre-school through grade 8. The school has built a reputation for developing strong spiritual values in an equally strong academic environment. It is a reputation gained through the efforts of dedicated teachers at all grade levels, hard work and diligence on the part of our students, and the participation and support of school parents.
Reverend Brown holds the "Star School" designation. The award was granted for the school's outstanding success in student achievement in math, science and technology. Rev. Brown School's "Star School" status was renewed for an additional five years, commencing July 1, 2005. The award was granted for the school's outstanding success in promoting student achievement in the subjects of math, science, and technology, particularly in grades six, seven, and eight. Congratulations to all who made this possible!.

Rev. Brown School, as a faith-filled community, is committed to educating students in the skills necessary to further their education by an emphasis on basic skills. This intellectual growth occurs in an atmosphere where the Gospel principles are lived and applied. This environment is enhanced by incorporating the message of the Gospels in all subject areas and by instilling in the students, through interpersonal relationships, a desire to live their faith in their response and behavior towards others. We accomplish this by serving as role models in our daily activities within the school community and in our close relationships with those around us. We also achieve this by instilling respect, reverence, and acceptance of others and of the individual differences of others. The atmosphere is further enhanced by celebrating the Word in worshipping together as a community through the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, classroom prayer, and participation in various liturgies and prayer services. These shared celebrations unite us and remind us that God is calling each of us to be the very best we can.
Our parents, pastor, priests, and teachers recognize the need to provide a climate of love and respect for self and others. This climate is enriched by involving the students in parish and community projects and by making every effort to acquaint the students with social justice issues. Our aim is to encourage the students to become actively involved in responding to situations of human need. |
