Our girls were welcomed to AOSE by caring and compassionate administration, faculty and coaches. They immediately felt a part of the faith based community and have developed genuine friendships. As parents, we appreciate that the Academy teaches critical thinking in a safe, nurturing environment. Enthusiastic learners are taught by passionate teachers and the combination is infectious! The students are empowered to think for themselves, question the world around them and respectfully voice their opinions, while keeping an open mind and heart. AOSE is steeped in a rich history of excellence and the lessons the girls are learning go well beyond the classroom. Our girls walk into school each day with a smile and come home each afternoon with stories of academic, athletic and service adventures filled with friendship and laughter. We are grateful that the Academy of St. Elizabeth is helping us prepare our daughters for success not only in college but for life.

Review Academy of Saint Elizabeth

After 19 years as a teacher in public, private and special education schools, I joined the Academy for the 2022-23 school year. This has been - hands-down - the best teaching experience I have ever had! The faculty is the most collegial, cooperative and caring group I have ever worked with, the administration is 100% supportive and the students are the best, most honest, most passionate students l've ever worked with. Not only is everyone committed to furthering the mission of the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth, but they are doing so in a welcoming, caring and inclusive way that makes everyone - students, faculty, administration and staff - feel like part of the community. The students care about their education, the teachers are dedicated to ensuring success for every student, and the parents are totally onboard with, and supportive of, the teachers, the school and its mission.

Living in Bernardsville, NJ, several all-girls Catholic schools were available to our daughter. For many people, having so many options could present a tough decision when considering the all the options. However, upon watching our daughter step foot in the Academy during an Open House, it was easy to see the choice was clear. There was a sense of legacy, sisterhood and excellence that could immediately be felt in the old-world charm of the buildings, classrooms and common areas. As parents, we were worried about the transition from a K-8 Catholic School, but our daughter was welcomed with open arms into a warm and nurturing sisterhood. She is actively involved in sports, clubs and social activities and truly loves going to school each day. Her admiration and respect for her teachers has prompted a renewed love for learning while challenging herself to set goals for her future. She has found a new home where she is successful, happy and thriving with friends she considers family.
