Celebrating over
60 years of
special education
UPDATE:
Due to hazardous road conditions and decisions by some local public school systems not to transport students to non-public facilities because of safety, our school will be closed Thursday, January 29, and Friday, January 30, 2026. At this time, state regulations do not permit non-public schools to provide virtual instruction in place of an in-person school day.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students, families, and staff.
Empathy and Mercy Teams
Generally ages 6 - 16 and Grades 1 - 8
Students on the Empathy and Mercy Teams take core academic classes, which are adapted to meet students’ individual (IEP) goals and needs. Mercy students also participate in a variety of vocational classes, as well as on-campus Work-Based Learning experiences, that are designed to build skills that will make students ready for a full day of job training when they move into the high school program.
​
Being part of Empathy and Mercy Teams is a valuable experience for students at St. Elizabeth School. Teachers and specialists working with the Empathy and Mercy Teams focus on helping students become members of the St. Elizabeth School community—they make sure that students feel safe and respected, building confidence, which will help them to meet their academic and social goals.
