St. Joseph's School for the Blind, the only school for the blind in New Jersey, serves students from birth through 21 years of age who are blind or partially sighted and may have other disabiltiies. Saint Joseph’s School for the Blind, founded and sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, serves its mission by a Judeo-Christian attitude toward human life in an environment of caring, peace, and acceptance that emphasizes respect for each individual’s rights and dignity.

Collaborative efforts, therefore, of students, family, staff, volunteers and supporters are equally important in providing quality services and programs. ...read more
