Academy of Saint Elizabeth
The Academy of Saint Elizabeth is a private secondary school for young women located in Convent Station, New Jersey, United States. The college preparatory school has an enrollment of two hundred and thirty students. Established in 1860, the academy is the oldest secondary school for young women in New Jersey.
The academy is a boarding school that always has attracted students from around the world, but many of its New Jersey students commute from other communities along the railroad line.
The community of Convent Station, which is adjacent to Morristown, was named for the railway station constructed in the 1870s to accomodate the 200-acre complex of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth that also includes the College of Saint Elizabeth and the Villa of Saint Ann. The religious order was founded in 1859 in Newark, but in 1860 the motherhouse of the new religious order and the academy were established on the site near Morristown.
The academy is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools.
