BRIEF HISTORY 
Saint Bernadette School was founded in 1948, when Monsignor Joseph A. O’Brien, the founding Pastor, completed the first building containing both church and school. Over the years, the school has undergone many changes. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur staffed the school from 1948 to1973 and laid its strong educational foundation. They were succeeded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Chestnut Hill who, for ten years, continued the work of educating the children of the parish until their withdrawal in 1983. The Oblate Sisters of Saint Francis de Sales staffed the school from 1983-2010. During that time, their foundress Leonie Aviat was canonized a saint due to a miracle that happened, through her intercession, to one of the school children. Presently the school is staffed by a devoted lay faculty.

Since 1986, Saint Bernadette School has been fully accredited by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and the Commission on Elementary Schools of the Middle State Association of Colleges and Schools.

Saint Bernadette School enjoys the support of the priests and families who comprise our parish community and who aid our efforts in providing quality Catholic education for all our students.We are committed to providing our students with safe, positive, and challenging learning experiences in a faith based environment.
