St. Vincent De Paul School

We have been incredibly happy with the Long Hill school district and the care they place on our children and community.

My kids are getting an amazing education at HudsonWay. Small class sizes and low student/teacher ratios allow teachers to give focused attention to students and challenge them, but at a pace that’s right for the individual student.Foreign language immersion makes HudsonWay unique. My two kids have been going two years and they are fully conversational in Spanish. I had a proud moment recently at a party when I overheard my son having a 5-minute conversation with a Spanish speaking adult. It’s something you really can’t get anywhere else. All the instruction (math, science, social studies, etc) is in the target language except for English class and specials where the students from Spanish and Mandarin mix together. Learning in a foreign language seems to expand the frontier of kids’ minds and makes them better students across all their studies. My older son is reading in English at least one grade level ahead at this point, and I attribute it to largely to his learning to read in two different languages.Relative to other private schools in the area, I think HudsonWay is a great value because you get the small class sizes and your kids learn a foreign language, which is a gift they’ll have their whole lives. I’m a big fan of the school.
