The St. Paul Christian School classes include All-Day Kindergarten, First and Second Grade, Pre-Kindergarten and Nursery School Programs (for 3 and 4 year olds.)  There is also extended-day options and before and after care program available.  We are located at 201 State Route 31 in Flemington just in front of Hunterdon Medical Center.  

At St. Paul Christian School, the students are surrounded by a caring and highly educated staff that is dedicated to provide the students with an environment that supports the children’s moral and spiritual growth, and the functional equivalent of a public school education. 

Some of the many advantages of being a student at St. Paul Christian School is the small class sizes and the many opportunities to interact with the other classes such as all school programs.  Many times the older students have the privilege of helping out in the younger student’s classes by assisting with activities or reading to them, fostering an attitude of teamwork and appreciation for one another.

To register or to get more information about St. Paul Christian School, please call the school office or visit our website.
