General Information
At Elk County Catholic School System, our preschool programs are more than just a place to learn. They are a place where children grow in faith, confidence, curiosity, and kindness. Through hands-on learning, caring teachers, and a nurturing Catholic environment, we help children develop academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually while building a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
The Elk County Catholic School System is proud to offer preschool programs at both St. Marys Catholic Elementary School (SMCES) in St. Marys and St. Leo School (SLS) in Ridgway. While each campus has its unique traditions and community, both share the same commitment to providing a nurturing, faith-filled environment where every child is known, loved and encouraged to grow.
