Welcome to Deerfield School No. 9. 

Our school is a Pre–K to 5th Grade elementary school in Linden, NJ. 

We strive to promote diversity through a commitment to instructional excellence! We allow students to achieve their maximum potential in an engaging, inspiring, and challenging learning environment.

Our students are supported by a phenomenal staff committed to providing them with the best education imaginable.  Our dedicated team of educators works tirelessly to create a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment where children can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.   We believe that every student is unique, and we are committed to fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime. 

Our curriculum is designed to engage and inspire students through various hands-on, interactive, and challenging activities to ignite a passion for discovery and critical thinking.  We also focus on social-emotional learning, helping students develop essential life skills such as empathy, resilience, and effective communication.

 Our solid foundation for learning is also built upon a strong partnership with parents and the community. Our staff, along with our PTA, form a team dedicated to seeing all students succeed.

Warm regards,

Angela A. Principato, Principal
