Receive your acceptance, submit registration paperwork, and join us.
SJA serves families from Clark, Cranford, Garwood, Linden, Westfield, Roselle, Rahway, Winfield, and surrounding communities. We are an open-enrollment Catholic school — you do not need to be a registered parishioner of Saint John the Apostle Parish or Catholic to apply.
Our students come to us from many backgrounds and faith traditions. What we share is a desire for a school where character formation, academic excellence, and personal attention go hand in hand.

A Catholic education should be accessible. SJA participates in the Archdiocese of Newark’s tuition assistance program (Inner-City Scholarship Fund), and we administer our own need-based aid for qualifying families. Speak with the office in confidence — financial situations should never be the reason a family doesn’t apply.
Our admissions office is here to help. Email admissions@sjanj.org, call (732) 388-1360, or fill out our information request form and we’ll respond within one business day.
