For over 100 years, School of Saint Elizabeth has offered faith-based education programs for students in Pre-K through eighth grade. Our traditional learning model combines a rigorous academic curriculum with Catholic values of faith, citizenship, responsibility, kindness, and respect. Expert faculty and staff are committed to providing a balanced, challenging, and comprehensive education to empower every student to achieve his/her full potential as a lifelong learner and an active, contributing member of society. At School of St. Elizabeth, our premier academic standards exceed expectations for educational excellence and students develop a true passion for learning.    
Our vision continues to be excellence without boundaries, offering exceptional educational opportunities alongside our emphasis on Catholic values within a positive, respectful, caring, learning community. In thought and application, School of St. Elizabeth promotes the development of academic, spiritual, and social competencies. Our focus on continuous and collaborative professional development ensures our teachers are current and knowledgeable in delivering research-based instruction. The St. E’s curriculum emphasizes problem solving, the construction of knowledge, and the integration of technology across all subjects to allow individual growth and achievement for every student.
We embrace a collaborative culture and a student-centered approach to teaching. Our integrated curriculum supports the comprehensive educational and spiritual growth of our students, with challenging and multi-faceted cross-curricular connections in Mathematics, Science, STEM/STREAM, Language Arts, Religion, Social Studies, Music and Fine Arts. By eighth grade, our students demonstrate high school readiness with the completion of an intensive Capstone Project, focused on a topic of their choice. Our students learn executive function skills for success in high school: time management, public speaking, research and organization. ln 2022 and 2023, 100% of St. E’s graduates applying to private high schools were offered acceptance to the institution of their choice – many with merit scholarships.
School of St. Elizabeth delivers a comprehensive standards-based literacy program, driven by proven methods for maximizing how children learn, both as individuals and within a community of readers and writers. Each day, our children are actively engaged in purposeful instruction laser-focused on transforming even our youngest students into fluent and competent readers, writers, and thinkers.
Our proven mathematics curriculum was developed by a team of expert faculty and educational collaborators, delivering a research-based program with state-of-the art learning materials and instructional approaches to meet the individual learning needs of our students. The program builds conceptual understanding within a concrete/pictorial/abstract model, utilizing scaffolding instruction across all grade levels. Our math department remains focused on the application of knowledge acquired, real-world problem solving, and the communication of mathematical ideas.
 Discover our legacy and explore a learning environment where children THRIVE. Students can explore, create, and grow academically, spiritually, and socially. School of St. Elizabeth is proud to be the area’s premier choice for traditional learning where the compelling motivators are our dedication to learning and achievement, student well-being, commitment to Catholic values, and service to others within a professional learning community.
Sincerely,
Joseph Walsh
