Mission Statement

The distinctive purpose of St. John Neumann Regional School is to create Catholic-centered education enlivened by the Gospel spirit of love. The school community exists to maintain academic standards and to foster Catholic values and empower children to be all that they can be.

What this means for your family:

• Your child is formed in a Christ-centered environment of prayer, respect, and service.

• Your child is challenged to meet high academic expectations with the support of caring teachers.

• Your child is encouraged to discover and use their gifts to become who God created them to be.

One School, Two Welcoming Campuses
Saint John Neumann Regional School is one Catholic school community with two campuses that work closely together to serve students in Preschool through Grade 8.

Slatington Campus – Primary Grades
Our Slatington Campus is home to our youngest learners in Kindergarten–Grade 2 (and Preschool, if you place it here). In a warm, developmentally appropriate environment, children build early literacy and math skills, learn how to be good friends, and grow in their Catholic faith.

Palmerton Campus – Elementary & Middle Grades
Our Palmerton Campus serves students in Grades 3–8. Here, students deepen their academic skills, grow in independence, and take on leadership roles while preparing for high school in a supportive, faith-filled community.

Teachers and staff across both campuses collaborate as one team, so students experience a smooth transition as they grow.

Background

St. John Neumann Regional School was established the year Bishop John Neumann of Philadelphia was canonized a saint of the Roman Catholic Church – 1977. The parishes of Assumption BVM, Sacred Heart, and St. Nicholas collaborated in a joint mission to bring Catholic Education to the youngsters and families of the area.  The school program was accredited by the State of Pennsylvania, the Diocese of Allentown, and later in 1993 by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

In 2017, SJNRS celebrated its 40th year of educating students and sharing the way of Jesus with them. The SJNRS Community is proud of the work it has achieved in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
