Saint Leo the Great Catholic School It is our goal to nurture and develop those gifts to the benefit of the Church and the community.

Saint Leo the Great Catholic School serves students in Pre-K through Grade 8 where education, service, and faith combine to provide each student a foundation of high standards in knowledge and ethics. “Learning and Living the Gospel of Christ.”

Welcome to Saint Leo the Great Catholic School (SLTG), a Pre-K through eighth grade school where education, service, and faith combine to provide each student a foundation of high standards in knowledge and ethics. As a Catholic elementary school, Saint Leo the Great Catholic School’s teaching philosophy is guided by the belief that each student is a unique gift of God, created with special gifts and talents. Saint Leo's is also proud to be accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Accreditation by MSCES is recognized around the world as an indication of trustworthiness, educational quality and a commitment to ongoing school improvement. Faith: Saint Leo the Great Catholic School exists “to develop disciples of Jesus Christ.” We do not simply instill faith through education and activities. Moreover, we use faith as the foundation from which students can be taught and involved in activities. It is this foundation that provides the strength in commitment for a quality learning experience. Education: With smaller grade sizes and personal attention, students have an excellent environment for learning. Our teachers are able to provide a consistent level of quality so that our students have some of the higher testing scores in the Harrisburg Diocese. This, along with a diverse offering of extra-curricular activities, allows for all students to develop both intellectually and physically. Community Service: Christian faith requires service to those in need. Each student at Saint Leo's has the opportunity to serve those in need through projects and events scheduled in the class as well as extracurricular activities. Whether it is singing Christmas hymns in a senior citizen community, or working for a donated food and clothing drive, the call to serve is enacted so that each student fully understands the importance of service in the Christian faith at an early age. We understand that choosing a school is one of the most important and difficult decisions parents must make. But Saint Leo the Great Catholic School, it is more than just education; it is choosing a culture in which children will begin a lifelong journey of learning and discovery. At Saint Leo the Great Catholic School, children experience outstanding academics, excellent teachers, abundant activities, and modern technological resources. But all of these assets are of little value without the faith that will enhance them.

Today at school Mass, Father Meinert’s Homily was about good friends. How to get to heaven we need to surround ourselves with good friends to help us make great choices. Our 4/5th graders and middle school students have some really good friends to help them along their way.

Did you know that sometimes, going “old school” is exactly what students need? ✏️📖

At Saint Leo, we value the power of paper and pencil, listening, discussion, and face-to-face learning.

Writing by hand gives students an opportunity to slow down, process information, and actively engage with what they’re learning. And fewer digital distractions can help students stay focused and present.

Technology has an important place in education, but it should support learning, not replace the human connection at the heart of it.

At Saint Leo, we’re intentional about creating an environment where students can focus, think, discuss, write, and truly engage in learning. 💚

Did you know? Catholic education is about preparing students for success both in the classroom and beyond. 💚💛

Catholic school students have demonstrated strong outcomes in areas such as academic achievement, graduation, and college readiness.

But we believe success is about more than a test score.

At Saint Leo the Great, we challenge our students academically while helping them develop character, faith, critical-thinking skills, perseverance, and a lifelong love of learning.

Because our goal isn’t simply to prepare students for the next grade.

We’re preparing them for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and purpose. ✝️📚
