For
800 years, the Dominican Order has located itself at the heart of higher
education. It is this inherited integration of the arts, humanities and
sciences, with the deepest expression of the contemplative and creative
spirit of men and women, which forms the basis of the educational philosophy
of Caldwell College.

Founded in 1920, Lacordaire Academy in Upper
Montclair, is an independent Catholic college preparatory school educating
boys and girls in grades pre-K through 8 and young women in grades 9-12.
Lacordaire Academy’s name was chosen to reflect the
values and ministry of Pere Henri Lacordaire, a fearless Dominican priest
who brought the good news of Christ to post-revolutionary Paris. The
Academy, sponsored by the Sisters of St. Dominic of Caldwell who minister
alongside a highly qualified faculty of lay teachers, has a long-standing
tradition of providing a challenging curriculum in a nurturing supportive
environment. The gift of Dominican education and the value of outreach to
others is embraced and lived out by Lacordaire’s students. Senior sisters
and elderly residents at St. Catherine in Caldwell offer a warm welcome to
the young women from Lacordaire who offer smiles and service as activity

By
establishing Link Community School in 1969, the Sisters of St.
Dominic of Caldwell, New Jersey, responded to the critical educational needs
of a broken city after the Newark riots and the resulting devastation of the
Central Ward community This non-denominational independent middle school was
established to help rebuild the community by providing an exceptional
educational opportunity for young people left in poverty.

small class settings, combined with opportunities for creative expression,
transform potential dropouts into community leaders. Link’s administration
and teachers promote academic excellence by responding to individual
learning needs and styles. The Link Community School curriculum provides
each child with the freedom to develop intellectually and emotionally in a
safe, structured learning community. Link has grown into a thriving
scholarship-based independent school serving up to 128 seventh- and
