Welcome to St. Joseph's PREP!
2023-2024 SUMMER PREP!
St. Joseph’s Summer PREP Registration has begun. Our two-week summer intensive program will be held on Monday, June 26th to Friday, June 30th and Wednesday, July 5th to Friday, July 7th from 9:00 am to 12:00 Noon at St. Joseph’s Regional School. We will also have a kick-off Family Mass and social prior to June 26th – date and time to be announced.
Our classes are curriculum based, so students will learn the same material as the “weekly” students, but it is run more like a camp. We will also schedule a series of Family Events offered throughout the school year. The Diocese of Camden mandates that all religious ed families, particularly those attending Summer PREP, attend a minimum of 6 Family Events throughout the year.
Early Registration for Summer PREP will be held through March 13th, but you may register through June 1st.
