St. Elizabeth Parish School

St. Elizabeth has strong academic programs in a safe and caring environment. The principal is a truly gifted educator. Staff's credentials are impressive, but more importantly teachers are able to get to know every child and teach creatively and engage the children. Art and music are important parts of the curriculum. The school is committed to teaching children about service to others, which we really value. St. Elizabeth is a welcoming community that truly values its families.

St. Elizabeth has a very deep and broad curriculum and lots of extracurricular activities (chess club, sports, dance, academic decathlon to name a few). It also has a before and after care program that's great for working parents. Tuition is so much more affordable than other private schools in the area.

The community of St. Elizabeth is what I love most about the school. I was impressed when 8th graders knew my Kindergartener. The teachers are innovative and caring. Parents are really involved and go above and beyond consistently! There are solid academics - including science lab and computer classes. The art teacher does amazing things with all ages. My kids have loved going to the musicals the upper grades put on and sing in the choir now too. I can't imagine being at any other school!

St. Elizabeth School has been terrific for our daughter (7th grader) and a welcoming place for our entire family. The principal supports her staff strongly and it shows. The credentials held by the teachers are very impressive and the mix of veteran and new teachers works very well for the children. The school supports academic types, artistic types and children who are athletic. If your child needs extra attention, the teachers provide a concerted effort to assist. Up-to-date technology is an ongoing goal for the school. My daughter transferred to St. Elizabeth from another Pasadena private school (we left them, they implored us to stay) and has thrived here. Students graduating from St. Elizabeth are accepted at Flintridge Prep, Flintridge Sacred Heart, Mayfield Senior, Loyola, LaSalle, Alverno and more. This school is a terrific value!

We have been attending St. Elizabeth since Kindergarten. Our daughter is graduating this year from 8th grade. We have loved every minute of the wonderful family feeling at the school. It has felt 'comfortable' on campus with the faculty and other parents. My husband went to St. Elizabeth and his mother before him (she graduated in 1935). This is one of the truly great testimony's of this school, the returning families. We were blessed with great, giving parents who worked hard to create a learning enviornment for our kids that is first class. Since we have been there a new Science lab has gone in as well as all new computers in the computer lab. This is only a small part of the school. We have great teachers who become friends. We have been blessed with a Principal who taken our school into the 21st Century. Our teachers are accredited etc.

My daughter just started St. Elizabeth's School this year and is having a wonderful experience. The teachers are dedicated, educated, and put in more than the usual amount of effort into each and every child. The student population is wonderfully diverse and the spiritual component is deeply felt and enriching - even for those who are not practicing Catholics. The principal acts with integrity and deep commitment to the school. I cannot recommend this school highly enough!

This school has a wonderful environment for children to thrive academically, socially, artistically, and athletically. The faculty and staff have a genuine interest in seeing our children flourish and grow up to be honorable young men and women. It has an ethnically and culturally diverse population. The school's academic program is excellent with a very strong matriculation rates to the premier private high schools in the area and 'optional' disciplines such as music, art, and technology. But don't take our word for it, please stop by and see for yourself.
