School Notes
In 2002, the founders of St. Elizabeth`s School recognized the
ongoing lack of opportunity faced by many of the young people
growing up in our country`s marginalized communities. Their
struggles were perpetuated by a lack of access to affordable
high-quality education. The founders also believed that the
solution to this educational disparity would be found within
diverse and collaborative classrooms, and so they built them from
the ground up.
The school`s mission of intentional inclusion is critical,
today more than ever. It takes all of us working together,
challenging one another, to affect great change. This is not
accomplished by simply respecting differences. This is achieved by
actively embracing our unique perspectives and life experiences and
leaning into life`s important conversations in order to broaden
mind-sets and realize truly transformative education.
At St. Elizabeth`s School, tuition payment is not equal; it is
equitable! It is our fundamental belief that every family should
have affordable and sustainable access to a great education for
their children. An individualized tuition plan allows the school to
enroll families from a broad socio-economic spectrum that is truly
representative of the communities it serves.
Families annually submit their current financial information to
determine their tuition for the coming year. Tuition covers 30% of
annual operating expenses for the school. Generous funders
contribute over $1M a year, which allows every student to
participate fully in all programming.
At St. Elizabeth's School, we dive deeply into...
A wealth of great literature written by and about people of
various races, ethnicities, and life experiences. Students explore
unique and expanded points of view.
History that is inclusive of everyone`s story.
Scientific studies from physics, to biology, to earth science,
to chemistry, and general scientific inquiry.
Math that culminates in algebra 1 in 8th grade. Graduates may
choose to test into Algebra 2 or geometry as they enter high
school.
Spanish 2 days a week in lower school and 4 days a week in
middle school, preparing graduates for the option of testing into
Spanish 2 as they enter high school.
Topics of equity, acceptance, and areas of inequity that exist
in society. Our goal is to prepare graduates to engage in the
ongoing work toward creating a more just and healthy world.
Beliefs universal to all world faiths that are intended to
challenge and unite.

With so much uncertainty in the world today and a pandemic further confounding our lives, it's reasonable for parents to want to protect their children whenever and wherever possible? But overprotecting or bubble-wrapping? Well, that's another matter.
