Admissions

Elder’s success derives, in large part, from the ability of its teachers to transmit to the students a strong work ethic firmly rooted in the Gospel values. Indeed, it is not enough to work hard; one must do so in pursuit of building the Kingdom of God. Thus, Elder teaches its students to taste success through selfless service to others, tireless devotion to academic excellence, and an unflinching desire to succeed – all tempered by Christ’s teachings.

About

Elder is a place for young men from all communities to grow, not only intellectually, but also physically, spiritually, culturally and socially. We are a comprehensive, college-prep Catholic high school that offers a place for all students to express their individuality and make their high school experience unique.

Academics

Elder is proud to offer a wide range of curricular offerings which challenge and nurture the interests of all students. Our curriculum – aligned with the A.C.T. College Readiness Standards – is comprised of required courses in various levels (Advanced Placement, Honors, Advanced College Prep, College Prep and General) and electives that allow students to customize their schedule to their individual interests and learning styles.

Ministry

Compassion is at the heart of all authentic ministry. If our actions are not a result of a compassionate heart, we are but a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. We look first to our Elder family, then to the surrounding community, and finally to the world that is home to us all. An Elder student is taught to think globally but act locally. He learns, in word and deed, to reflect Christ, whose spirit gives us the desire to minister.

Arts & Enrichment

Elder provides numerous extracurricular and enrichment opportunities that enable our students to explore their interests, cultivate their talents, and develop the whole person. From music and art to electronic media, student-run clubs and more, there are abundant ways for our students to develop as leaders, writers, musicians, athletes, and artists...one must merely be ready to challenge himself in order to unlock an entire world of extracurricular wonder.

Athletics

Elder is an Ohio Division I school offering a competitive program in every sport. The Panthers have earned a strong athletic tradition and take great pride in their accomplishments. Our athletic programs promote ideals that carry over from the classroom to the sports field and into the everyday life of our scholar athletes: teamwork, determination, and self-discipline.

Giving

Elder’s progress over the years has been made by possible by the continued support of our generous alumni and friends. Their gifts enable us to continue to challenge, educate, and enlighten our students, and help us fulfill our mission of forming young men for others in the years to come.
