Today is

Our Lady of Libera School stands as a beacon of Christian commitment, to the values and teachings of Jesus Christ in the city of West New York and its surrounding communities. We are steeped in the tradition of Catholic Faith and firmly believe that Jesus Christ was born, suffered and died and rose to new life. Therefore, conscious of multicultural backgrounds of our students, we strive to enflesh the Word of God so that its meaning is alive and vibrant to all in our school and parish community. We strive to maintain a loving atmosphere where all are assured of God's love for us and where Christian values are learned and lived daily.

We recognize the parents as the child's primary teachers and we commit ourselves to build on this foundation. To assist the spiritual development of our students, we encourage the faculty and staff to be role models living according to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our faculty and administration strive to "teach as Jesus did" and hold fast to His teachings as a way of life. Thus, by example, guiding and preparing your Christian witnesses to meet the challenge of their world.


 

As a center of leaning, Our Lady of Libera School stresses academic excellence. The faculty and administration provide quality education of each child. It is our mission to provide an environment that meets the needs of every child assisting each one to develop and use his/her God-given abilities. We seek to encourage our students' natural curiousity and instill in them a love for learning by ensuring optimal and varied learning experiences. These experiences range from acquiring and mastering basic skills, to applying higher level thinking skills and solving problems. We believe we must continue to challenge those students who are prepared to move on, and to prod and encourage those who need additional time and assistance to master the skills needed to make progress.

the curriculum at Our Lady of Libera School comprises all basic subject areas as well as a variety of enrichment courses. Curriculum guidelines issued from the Newark Archdiocesan Superintendent's office, are useful to provide direction in curriculum development. The administration and faculty assume the responsibility of reviewing and modifying curriculum at regular intervals to meet the changing needs of our students. We believe that knowledge is acquired cumulatively, and thus we provide the opportunity for our students to build on previously learned skills and information, which become the stepping-stones to higher levels of learning.


As a Catholic educators, we strive to teach as Jesus did and to model qualities of mildness and meekness joined to firmness and good will to guide the child's growth and development. We nurture the child in a religious and academic setting and foster a cooperative relationship with parents in order to enhance our ability to respond to the needs of each child. We consider ourselves priviliged to be entrusted with the care of God's little ones and will continue to work diligently to earn the confidence and respect of the children we teach.

Our mission is to minister to the people of God in its most beautiful form -- the child. The entire school and parish community at Our Lady of Libera School are dedicated to provide a strong spiritual, moral and educational development within an atmosphere of Christian community and brotherhood. We are prepared to face this challenge, and are committed to keep our beacon light shining. We strive to make our corner of the world a better place for all.
