Cardinal Joseph Bernardin designs
programs of success for each child
Cardinal Joseph Bernardin
Catholic School,
recognized for the second
time by the U.S. Department
of Education as a
Blue Ribbon School of Excellence
in both 2008 and
2018, is proud of its commitment
to provide a toprated
academic experience
as well as a safe learning
environment centered in
faith. CJB welcomes students
in 3-year-old Pre-K
through eighth grade with
a focus on developing each
student’s spiritual, intellectual,
emotional, creative,
physical and social
needs.
As an academic institution,
CJB School is
dedicated to designing an
individual program of success
for each child. These
learning experiences include
opportunities to
challenge and enrich talents,
strategies to compensate
for weaknesses, and
programs designed to give
children the skills to succeed
in the 21st century.
Additionally, through fair,
firm and consistent discipline,
children grow in
responsible decision-making,
self-esteem, and selfrespect.
We believe that
the focus of the Cardinal
Joseph Bernardin Catholic
School experience is to
motivate students to become
self-confident, lifelong
learners. The school’s
goal is to prepare students
to be responsible members
of their community, able to
interact with people of all
races and nationalities as
they go out into the world.
Through the example of
the staff and the daily
experiences of the curriculum,
children learn the
truths of our faith, participate
in parish life, experience
a variety of liturgies
and prayer services, and
respond to the call of service
to those in need.

develop their own
personal identities while
