The school was founded in 1961 by Monsignor Robert T. Bulman, and is located on a small portion of the parish's 32-acre (130,000 m2) campus. The school attracts students from over 30 parochial, private, and public schools in Monmouth County and Middlesex County. The school maintains an average enrollment of just under 400 students in grades nine through twelve, although various plans have been instituted in recent years in an attempt to increase the school's enrollment. One such tactic was the school's virtual learning program[1], instituted in 2004. Virtual foreign language, math, and history classes began in 2005.
In keeping with the allure technology provides, increased tuition paved way for leased laptops, which all incoming freshman receive, for strictly school related purposes, during the school year. Virtual learning classes include all levels, including Advanced Placement, in Math, Foreign Languages (Latin, Italian, and Chinese) as well as History.
