There's a neighborly feeling throughout the suburb of Elmwood Park, and St. Celestine School is no exception. This private Catholic school that teaches children in preschool through eighth grade prides itself on its historical and ongoing connection to its neighbors.
Even though it's in a suburb, St. Celestine School still operates under the supervision of the Archdiocese of Chicago. It's also a Common Sense School, which means that the technology access here comes with an underlying commitment to digital well-being.
As far as academics are concerned, SCS ranks above average for all tested subjects. The students have about a 20-1 student-teacher ratio here, and there's a 10-1 ratio at the preschool level. It all adds up to a learning environment in which many graduates earn scholarships to private high schools, such as St. Patrick's in Chicago.
When it's time for a break from academic rigor, there are many extracurricular activities to enrich student life. The school's long-held tradition of interscholastic sports is still going strong. Most of the student population participates in athletics programs. A range of arts, crafts, scouting, service, technology, gaming, liturgical and academic associations round out the options.

This is going to be the third year for my daughter in this school. We loved preschool and kindergarten. Great learning environment which also cultivates good morals and values. We are excited to start the first grade this year. We have always been received by the teachers and principle in a nice war...

St. Celestine School has cultivated a wonderful learning environment for its students. The families are warm and welcoming, and care deeply about their children's education, and social and emotional development. We are nothing short of thrilled with the school
