Holy Trinity Interparochial School is a religious
educational resource serving local communities since 1916.
As a Middle States Accredited School operating under the
auspices of the Newark Archdiocesan School System, the
school emphasizes the values of our faith and continually
seeks to build a community where priests, parents,
parishioners, students, faculty, and staff share a common
concern for the spiritual and educational growth of each
individual. Our school has a faculty of certified teachers,
educating children from preschool through eighth grade. In
addition to classroom teachers, the staff includes a
full-time resource room teacher, a librarian, a computer
teacher, three foreign language teachers and an art teacher.
The basic subjects are taught employing various
educational techniques and audio-visual equipment. Spanish,
French, art, vocal and instrumental music, and physical
education classes are also part of the curriculum.
Religion, as an integral part of the curriculum, is
taught daily and permeates all aspects of everyday school
activities. Students plan and participate in liturgies and
experiences that give positive expression to their faith.
Facilities include a fully equipped automated library,
computer and science laboratories, music room, resource
room, a broadcasting studio, gym/auditorium, and a
cafeteria. Incorporating technology into the classrooms is
ongoing with a T.V., V.C.R. and computer in each classroom.
Our Kindergarten and Preschool classes are held at our
Mountainside Campus at the Our Lady of Lourdes Facility,
providing an age appropriate setting for our youngest
students. Extracurricular activities include: a literary
magazine, a drama club, a choir, girls? softball, boys? and
girls? basketball teams, basketball intramurals,
cross-country and spring track, cheerleading, and all levels
of scouting for both girls and boys.
Extended Day Care is also available at both campuses.

Protecting God's Children
By now you should all be familiar with the Charter
for the protection of Children and Young People,
approved by the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops. As an integral part of the goal to protect the
faithful from the specter of sexual abuse of children
that is pervading our society, Article 13 of the Charter
requires dioceses to evaluate the background of all
diocesan and parish personnel who have regular contact
with minors. Based on the guidelines established in the
Dallas Charter for Protecting God?s Children, our
Archdiocese has implemented several requirements for all
parish staff, school staff and all volunteers.
