The school was founded in 1961 by the Reverend 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, and takes pride in its small-school family atmosphere. Mater Dei is dedicated to being a unique school environment that emphasizes personalized education and provides students with a quality high school experience.
The virtual learning program began in 2005 and ended in 2010. Virtual learning classes included all levels, including Advanced Placement, in Math, Foreign Languages (Latin, Italian, and Chinese) as well as History.
The school has a state-of-the-art laptop program, with all entering students receiving leased laptops.[9]
On April 12, 2011, William Miltner, a former teacher and former dean at the school, was arrested for having engaged in sexual relations with an underage female student.[10] The Monmouth County Prosecutor charged Miltner with 2nd Degree Aggravated Sexual Assault, and 4th Degree Aggravated Sexual Criminal Conduct.[11]
