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. It is our goal to nurture and develop those gifts to the benefit of the Church and the community.
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.
A school-wide modernization and expansion is on the way!
