The school, founded in 1954 by the Benedictine Sisters, has approximately 500 students enrolled in the full day Kindergarten through Grade 8. Reverend Brown was accredited in April of 1994 by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools after a long and thoughtful process of self-study, evaluation by a Middle States Commission, and a plan for further development and improvement. As a Catholic school, we impart knowledge and understanding of the basic teachings of the Catholic faith. Religious education is an important part of the daily curriculum.
All students participate in liturgies, prayer services and preparation for the sacraments.
Students are encouraged to become involved in outreach programs for the needy, in service projects within the community, and in social justice issues. Students in grades six through eight and junior high, are departmentalized and grouped with others who have similar abilities and levels of learning in reading, language, math and science. In addition to core academics, children receive instruction in art, music, chorus, and physical education. Speech, compensatory and supplemental education programs are available as needed. They belong to over 16 professional organizations and are involved in a number of continuing education programs.
