New Christian Academy

In General : Fort Lee Public Elementary School No. 2 stands out for its excellence in education, dedicated teaching staff, strong commitment to student safety, and active family engagement. A top choice for a well-rounded educational experience.We have a small bad experience with my son's teacher in kindergarten last year, as she was very tough and hasn't any patience of dealing with new comers students like my son. Also the Principle was not helpful and didn't support us regard this issue.

ACS has been wonderful for our older son and we are incredibly sad that his little brother won’t be able to attend as well since we are moving for job relocation. The staff is so wonderfully caring and thoughtful. We were introduced to the Child Study Team the year prior to enrollment when we thought we had to continue with an IEP from California. We ended up not needing any services since our son was caught up after a speech delay, but to have speech therapists, occupational therapists, social worker, psychologist, behaviorists (you can look up the staff directory for the full list) - is AMAZING and very unique to Leonia to have wraparound care if your child needs it. Kindergarten with Ms. Usami was our first full-time pedagogical experience. We are always so grateful that she made learning that much more exciting for our son and really established school as a great place to go. For first grade, Mrs, Mariotti was absolutely stellar for our full year of virtual school during the pandemic. The time she spent carefully adapting lessons and taking care of students even from a distance is so appreciated. As a family, it was super fun getting to learn Spanish from Mrs. Williams and art from Ms. Drillick. ACS students are very fortunate to have such a wide range of special subjects (“specials”) as part of their regular curriculum. For second grade, students were transferring into Ms. Lopez’s class throughout the year - not surprising given her years of experience. Our son is always spouting what he’s learnt from her on our walks home and we especially appreciate how accommodating she has been through an anxiety-ridden year for us. We are also very appreciative of the love and care from Steve and Anthony (SSOs), Ms. Debbie who does double duty as crossing guard and lunch aide, Ms. Becky in the main office, Nurse Joely Wrenn who alerted us to a medical issue, and all the other staff who are part of such a hardworking and caring team. Leonia is a very special and lucky town to have such a gem of a school. - DC and SL, parents of X and W

A 10! Amazing school! Hands down! It’s THE BEST catholic schools in this area.

It's a very nice school. My daughter went for three years. She still misses Small World School. The principal is very kind and takes good care of the children like her family. Thanks to her, my daughter was able to gain a lot of knowledge. And all the students and parents who go to this school have a rich heart and are all wonderful people. Our family is happy to meet this school.
