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.
We’ve invested in a new mathematics curriculum 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 for providing balanced, differentiated instruction to meet the individual learning needs of our students. The program builds conceptual understanding within a concrete/pictorial/abstract model and 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.
As a Future Ready NJ Certified school with AdvancED STEM certification, our collective goal is to establish a life-long love of learning and provide a purposeful, productive learning environment where children 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.
