About the School

Through the generosity of Campbell Soup, the school is putting together a small computer lab that will house 15 student workstations and eventually provide students with a larger window on the world through Internet access.

Holy Name School is a parish elementary school located in North Camden. Opened in 1927, Holy Name School is now home to about 200 students from all areas of the city of Camden. The school provides a place of safety, love, and education in an area isolated by geography, language, culture, poverty, and violence.

As part of the school system of the Diocese of Camden, Holy Name School provides a comprehensive educational program for all of its students, including instruction in religious education, mathematics, language arts, social studies, science, world languages, art, physical education, and music. Above and beyond the core educational curriculum, Holy Name School partners with Guadalupe Family Services to teach self-esteem and peace empowerment programs. Holy Name School also provides a basic skills and supplemental instruction program for classified students through NCLB, administered through the Camden City Board of Education; and eligible students receive speech therapy and instruction in English as a Second Language through Chapter 192, 193 laws. The school also provides a supervised After-School Program to serve the needs of its working parents.
