Why Saint John Neumann?

Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you make for your child. At Saint John Neumann Regional School, you don’t have to choose between faith, academics, and a supportive community—you get all three.
Rooted in faith. Focused on growth.
Our mission is to provide a Catholic-centered education enlivened by the Gospel spirit of love. Students pray together, attend Mass, learn the teachings of the Church, and are encouraged to live lives of virtue and service.
The small school advantage
As a regional Catholic school, SJNRS is intentionally small. That means:
-
Teachers know each child’s strengths, struggles, and personality.
-
Students receive individual attention and support.
-
Parents have real relationships with teachers, staff, and other families.
Strong academics, caring teachers
Our K–8 curriculum builds a strong foundation in:
-
Religion
-
Language arts
-
Mathematics
-
Science and STEM
-
Social studies
-
Fine arts, music, and world language (Spanish for grades 3–8)
Dedicated teachers create engaging lessons and encourage students to think critically, work hard, and grow as confident learners.
Two campuses, one community
-
Elementary Campus (PreK–2) – Slatington
A nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment where our youngest learners build early literacy, math, and social skills. -
Middle Grades Campus (3–8) – Palmerton
A supportive setting where older students grow in independence, leadership, and responsibility while preparing for high school.
Teachers and staff work as one team, so students experience a seamless transition between campuses.
Support for every learner
We recognize that each child learns differently. Support services may include:
-
Math and reading support
-
Guidance counseling

Access to a school psychologist through local services
Our goal is to help every child become the best version of who God created them to be.
