Saints Mary and Elizabeth Academy of the Archdiocese of Newark recognizes each child as a precious gift from God.  Like snowflakes, no two children are exactly alike -- and no two children learn in exactly the same way.

The Academy offers a challenging academic curriculum that is rich in the moral values and religious formation your child will need to succeed in life.  With plenty of personal attention, our school creates a safe and encouraging environment that challenges bright minds to explore their interests and discover the best in themselves, their classmates, and the world.

At the very foundation of the education we offer is a dedication to excellence.  That's why Catholic elementary school students consistently score higher on national standardized tests than public or charter school counterparts.  And 97% of Catholic school graduates eventually go on to attend college.

Here in Linden, our elementary school students are accepted into some of the area's finest private high schools and then the nation's most renowned universities.

The Academy offers a positive, encouraging and save environment where children can grow in body, mind, and spirit.  From our Pre-K programs, designed for three and four-year olds through our K-8 programs, our caring, qualified teachers provide a strong, academic foundation.

The Academy is fortunate to have the services of a counselor and Focus room teachers.  Since we prize the individuality of the student, we offer enrichment classes in pre-algebra and algebra.  To nurture the spiritual dimensions of our students, class Masses are held monthly and our eighth graders participate in a retreat to deepen their prayer experiences and sharing of faith.

Saints Mary and Elizabeth Academy participates in the government sponsored breakfast and lunch program.  This ensures that all our students receive nutritious meals at reasonable cost, and eligible students may receive free or reduced priced meals.

The Academy is co-sponsored by the parish communities of Saint Elizabeth and St. Theresa in Linden, and Saint Mary in Rahway.

Many good things are happening here at the Academy!   This faith-based education is well worth the cost.

Then again - so are your children.
