Where Faith and Learning Flourish

At Elk County Catholic School System, academic excellence is rooted in a commitment to educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. From preschool through 12th grade, students are challenged to grow as confident learners, critical thinkers, effective communicators, and faith-filled leaders.



Our dedicated teachers provide engaging, rigorous instruction while recognizing the individual strengths and needs of each student. Small class sizes allow for meaningful relationships, personalized attention, targeted academic support, and opportunities for students to be challenged and grow.


As students progress through ECCSS, they are prepared for each new stage of their academic journey—from building strong foundational skills in the elementary years to developing independence in middle school and pursuing advanced coursework, electives, and college and career preparation in high school.


Throughout every grade level, our Catholic faith remains at the heart of the educational experience, encouraging students to pursue knowledge with purpose, recognize their God-given talents, and use those gifts to serve others.

    At St. Leo School, we focus on so much more than training a child to learn skills to target a career. Do you want your child to flourish as a human being-one that is made to know the truth, choose the good, and love the beautiful? That is the focus at St. Leo School.

    • Spiritually engaged students who get to go to Mass frequently and are developing a growing love and devotion to the Eucharist.
    • A united faculty that leads students to seek their whole formation– spiritually, academically, physically, and emotionally.
    • A curriculum that is designed to encourage a depth of wonder that has seemingly disappeared in secular society today.
