Message from the Principal

Here at St. Bridget Catholic Elementary School in Philadelphia, we are dedicated to the development of our students minds, bodies and souls. All grades, from pre-kindergarten through eighth, are taught by qualified, dedicated and caring teachers, who participate in on going professional development. We pride ourselves on our small class sizes, which allows our teachers to give each student the attention he or she deserves. With our Internet connected computer lab and science lab, we are giving our students the tools to achieve in the future. At St. Bridgets, your child is our highest priority.
