Welcome to St. Paul School in Valley Cottage, New York. We are a highly recognized Catholic elementary school serving students in grades Pre-K to 8.
For over 50 years, we have been guiding our students on their journey to maturity, intellectual independence and spiritual fulfillment.
Our students, through their transformational education, spiritual and social experiences with clergy, educators, parents and peers, emerge with a superior academic foundation, a dynamic growing personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a sincere desire to affect the world around them by leading a charitable, Christ–centered life.
Students attend monthly Mass with their classes, as well as participating in prayer at the start and end of their school day and at the start of each class. St. Paul’s is not a private school; we are a Catholic school. Our purpose for existence is to educate young Catholics in their faith; it is a secondary benefit that we can offer an exceptional academic program.
