Sending our children to Bergan Catholic Schools is one of our greatest blessings! Our kids know they are loved by their teachers. One of my favorite things is that our children are known by name by other students from preschool to seniors. It is truly heartwarming to witness. It's one of the things that makes my momma heart happy to be a part of the Bergan Family!!!

Bergan Elementary is the premier Elementary school in the Fremont area. My children became confident, faith filled & capable young scholars because of the educational program at Bergan Catholic Elementary. The staff members truly care about the students and go above and beyond to make sure that the students are successful in the academic endeavors. These staff members become like family members that support you long after you move on from being a student at the Elementary school.
