The school was named for Saint John Neumann.

Neumann Prep closed at the end of the 1989–1990 academic year. Since then the campus has been the site of a Montessori school and the Lakeview Learning Center. The current tenants are the Al-Ghazaly High School. The site is also headquarters of TSF Academy, a well respected soccer academy in Northern New Jersey. The property was owned by the Diocese of Paterson.[2]

Sale of the Property

edit

In July, 2022 the Diocese of Paterson sold the property to the Academy of Greatness & Excellence, an Islamic school based in Ridgefield Park, NJ. The AGE is not affiliated with Al-Ghazaly High School.[3][4]

The 25-acre property was purchased for $13.5 million.[5]
