Learning about science and history is essential for understanding the world around us and how it has evolved over time. Science offers the tools and knowledge to explore natural phenomena, innovate in technology, and address pressing global challenges like climate change, health crises, and energy sustainability. History, on the other hand, provides valuable lessons from the past, helping us understand the causes and consequences of human actions, and guiding us to make informed decisions for the future. By integrating both fields, we gain a well-rounded perspective that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of human progress.

The Elms is the only all-girls, faith-based school for grades 1 - 12 with a co-ed pre-school and Kindergarten in the Cleveland Diocese. Our mission at the Elms is to educate girls and young women to live their lives boldly with purpose, confidence, kindness, resilience, justice and faith. Ranked as one of the top private schools in Summit County, we are known for our academic excellence, caring atmosphere and strong community spirit. We strive to support every girl to become an inquiring lifelong learner, a compassionate and engaged global citizen and a confident and caring leader. Every girl is inspired to reach her full potential.
By the very nature of our mission, the Elms is an individualized educational experience. Because we endeavor to inspire each girl to reach her full potential, there are as many different versions of that as there are girls in the school. That said, girls who are curious, open-minded and hard-working will thrive at the Elms and in our community.
