St. Elizabeth’s School is a K–8 Episcopal school in Denver founded on the principles of equity, belonging, and excellence and that a family's current financial circumstances should not dictate a child's future. A sliding-scale tuition model, dedicated and dynamic faculty and staff, and a supportive community make this an exciting opportunity.
