Creation of a Catholic Focus
School for Critical Thinking Offers Parents a Choice in Elementary
Education
CAPE MAY COUNTY–
There is excitement in Lower Cape May County for the creation of an
elementary Catholic focus school for critical thinking. The first of its
kind in the Camden Diocese, the school will offer families in Lower Cape
May County a choice for a distinctive academic experience.
This new school will have at its core a well trained faculty who will be
prepared to teach with this focus. It will be the work of this faculty
to infuse critical thinking throughout the Pre-K to 8th grade
curriculum. Critical thinking dramatically enhances content
understanding and learning from advanced levels to remedial levels.
Critical thinkers are proven self-starters and leaders.
A planning team comprised of community members from Our Lady Star of the
Sea Regional School, Cape May and St. Ann Regional School, Wildwood are
determined to create a new school with a new mission and new, innovative
focus.
The new school will be run by a leadership team consisting of
Administrative Director - Sister Sheila Murphy, Curriculum Director -
Mrs. Donna DiPasquale, and a Mission Effectiveness Director whose name
will be announced soon. The mission of this team is to work together
with the planning team and lead the innovation and development of the
new school. The leadership team will also give a voice to the traditions
of the former schools, while showing a unified spirit in establishing
this new school of excellence and choice in education.
The new school will be located at the site of the current St. Ann
Regional School.

School at 609-884-4437 for more information.
