Private Schools

I cant say enough wonderful things about my experience with The Goddard School in Sparta! Not only do they have a warm, safe comforting environment, the education my son received was none other than OUTSTANDING! He is in the 1st grade now and is at the top of his class in reading, writing and math - I attribute his advanced knowledge to the superb teachers at Goddard. My son attended the school for 2 1/2 years and his experience was great!! The education he received was above and beyond anything I expected from a pre-school. The faculty are caring, the director and owner are wonderful, I just cant say enough positive things about this school. I have recommended several friends to Goddard whose children are currently attending and LOVE their experience as well. Writing a positive review for Goddard is just a small token of thanks for the amazing experience my son walked away with from Goddard. As a single mother, I felt safe knowing my son was in the care of such wonderful people. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a pre-school for their child!

We have had a great experience here. My daughter loves going to school and the teachers have all been very caring and compassionate. She has grown by leaps and bounds since starting!

My 18 month old is enrolled and she is learning so many practical things. The staff is great and my daughter asks for her teachers by name while we're home!

Shalom Torah is the warmest and happiest place to send a child to school. The staff are professional and truly dedicated to the well-being and educational growth of each student!

Our Son now in 2nd grade and daughter in 6th grade are attending Scicore Academy for past 3 years. The staff at the school is very talented and knowledgable. We have seen significant improvement in our children having attended Scicore now for 3 years. Highly recommend this school - Dr. Poulos & Mrs. Poulos are great, thank you!

They have been caring for our family for 8 years - they are our second family. Has been a wonderful time with all of the teachers and staff there...will be sad to leave."

been awhile -'49 - I was at Peddie for my last 2 high school years, underwhelming because of my antics and younger than the group age. The second year got me whipped up and I graduated with high marks and participation in school events i.e. Casca - Julius Caesar / senior play. And all this launched me to 4 years schooling, graduating from Northwester University '53, which susequently launched me to a Graduate Degree at the Wharton School, UPENN, and a law degree at Chase College '66 in Cincinnati. The payoff being hired immediately by employment at 3 giant corps, both in the US and in England. So go for Peddie.! Bill Robert Doyne '49

My son has been going to Goddard since he was 3 Months old and I needed to go back to work. The staff and owners are EXCELLENT. Cant praise the school enough. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone, especially first time moms worried about their newborns. Your child will be in FANTASTIC hands.

It is my favorite school I would recommend it for anyone!

after new ownership, the quality of care went down dramatically. It used to be a great place, now it's horrible.

My sons have attended this school for years. Everyone from the office staff to the faculty have been great. My wife and I feel that the educational portion of the school is top notch. My eldest son was a student here through kindergarten and started 1st grade with a leg up on his peers. The best compliment I can give is that when I drop my kids off at school in the morning I never worry about them during the day.

I can't say enough good things about Goddard School in Jackson, from the owners to the staff. When my daughter first started my wife and I were nervous about how our daughter would do and from the start the school made it very easy and comfortable for us by calling us and sending pictures throughout the day. They go above and beyond and also do a lot for the kids by having animals come to the school, ice cream trucks, water day. Also my daughter has learned so much, she now knows her ABC's and can count to 10 with no problem at the age of 20 months. Every time I pick her up she is singing a new song she learned at Goddard. Lisa and Bill are super nice and take proud in their school. I have recommended people and will continue. Great School!!!

I remember my old school before I went to Pennsville Middle and Memorial High School and Cumberland County Technical Education Center.
