St. Elizabeth Elementary School, a kindergarten through eighth grade co-educational Roman Catholic institution of the Diocese of Wilmington, was founded in 1908 and rooted in the Benedictine tradition of Ora Et Labora (Prayer and Work) and PAX (Peace). The Elementary School provides a diverse but family oriented caring environment, and serves several parishes in the diocese. The school is committed to educating the mind, the body, and the spirit. Our mission calls us to proclaim the Gospel message, to instill leadership, to promote dedication to service, and to inspire a passion for peace and justice in today's youth who will become the parishioners and citizens of tomorrow. We at St. Elizabeth Elementary School are a Catholic school committed to assisting parents in their primary right and responsibility to form and educate their children into mature witnesses of Christ. Under the guidance of the principal, the faculty strives to integrate Catholic values and beliefs throughout all academic and social areas. As a school community, we aid the students in making their Christian commitment through liturgical celebrations, community services, daily prayer, and courses in Catholic doctrine. By instilling discipline, good order, and fostering self-control, we encourage respect for God, self, fellow man, and for government. Teacher example and the various teacher, student, and peer interactions foster a sensitivity and mutual respect for the needs of others. ...read more
