EARLY CHILDHOOD TO ELEMENTARY

Founded in 1970, St. Elizabeth Nursery and Montessori School began as a one-room school housing a small early childhood Montessori class. Fifty-six years later, we are a thriving institution providing a unique and comprehensive education to children from age 2½ through sixth grade. The Franciscan Sisters, faculty, and staff are thankful for the students and families who have made the growth and continued presence of our school within the community possible. We thank God for these blessings and pray that we may continue to do His work for many years to come.

Why Choose St. Elizabeth School?

Three pillars of excellence that define our community.

Spiritual Growth

We strive to empower each student to develop and nurture a personal relationship with a loving God. We teach the beliefs of the Catholic Church and inspire our students to live moral and ethical lives by reinforcing these values on a daily basis.

Academic Excellence

Our academic model integrates core subject content that serves as a foundation for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. From early childhood through sixth grade, the academic standards at St. Elizabeth support each student by providing the knowledge and skills needed to enter the world as productive, compassionate, and educated citizens.

Service to Others

Our school community regularly participates in works of mercy by giving our time, talents, and treasures locally, nationally, and internationally. The purpose of service is for God to reach others through our hands. As II Corinthians 9:12–13 reminds us, the service we provide not only meets needs but also expresses thanks to God and leads others to praise Him.

My daughter who is now 26 attended St. Elizabeth's Nursery and Montessori from 2 1/2 years old through 6th grade. The education she received was second to none. She was well prepared to move onto private college prep middle/high school after completing 6th grade. The school gave her a strong, solid foundation that has allowed her so many other educational opportunities. Class sizes were small. The sisters, lay teachers and administrator were excellent and like family to us. The best decision we ever made was to have our daughter attend the school. They are truly the best!
