The Academy of Saint Elizabeth is a private college preparatory secondary school for young women located in Convent Station, New Jersey, United States. Established in 1860, the academy is the oldest secondary school for women in New Jersey. The school is within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson but operates independently. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1928 and is accredited until January 2027.
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 208 students and 27.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.7:1. The school's student body was 89.9% (187) White, 5.3% (11) Hispanic, 2.9% (6) two or more races and 1.9% (4) Black.
The community of Convent Station, which is adjacent to Morristown, was named for the railway station constructed in the 1870s to accommodate the 200-acre (0.81 km2) complex of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth that also includes Saint Elizabeth University and Saint Anne's Villa. 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.
The academy is a New Jersey Association of Independent Schools member.
