The Academy of Saint Elizabeth, established in 1860, is the oldest high
school for girls in the state of New Jersey. Saint Elizabeth's is an
independent, Roman Catholic college preparatory school for grades 9-12.
Our rich history is the result of the foresight, courage, and determination
of the Sisters of Charity and the legacy of their foundress, Mother Mary
Xavier, who was commissioned in 1859 by Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley to
establish a school for young women in New Jersey. A tradition of excellence
was born the following year, excellence that has continued well into modern
times as witnessed by the success of our many alumnae who have taken
leadership positions in the government, society, medicine, the law, business
and finance, academia, the arts, and in religious life.
The Sisters of Charity hold that the education of women has been
significantly formative as attitudes about the roles and functions of women
in the Church and society have improved over the years. Therefore, students
are encouraged to use and develop their abilities to approach problems
logically, to seek truth and to recognize it without bias, to analyze and
make critical judgments, and to study the past in order to gain insight into
present problems and conditions.
