Saint Benedict connects a Catholic tradition with hands-on STEM.
Our interpretation of published school information, not a campus inspection or an additional official rating.
Saint Benedict Catholic School in Elberta describes its mission in the Benedictine tradition and dates its educational history to 1921. Its established STEM page describes coding, three-dimensional design and middle-school robotics alongside the regular curriculum. Our editorial read is that the interesting comparison is how those practical projects connect to the school's wider academic and faith formation.
The published STEM examples include Scratch, Tinkercad and VEX IQ. These are specific enough to discuss with a teacher, but the established page also contains older competition references. Confirm the current projects, equipment and participation arrangements instead of assuming that an archived achievement or timetable still describes this year's program.
Why it may fit
Families exploring Catholic education with project-based technology activities can ask to see current student work and how STEM experiences develop across the grades.
What to weigh
Check current program details and tuition directly. The school announced a new website in August 2026, so older pages are useful background rather than a complete current prospectus.
The campus remains identified at 12786 Illinois Street in Elberta. The established site announced stbenedictschool.com as its new domain; the new site's content was unavailable during this review.

What the data can tell you.
There is no public-school accountability letter attached to this private school. That does not describe its quality. Ask for the assessments it uses, the most recent results it is willing to share, how progress is measured, and the support available when a student falls behind or needs more challenge.
Accreditation, tuition, scholarship participation and class size have not been independently verified in this guide. Obtain current documentation from the school and check the accrediting organization's own directory. A religious affiliation describes the school's reported identity; it is not an academic score.
Admissions, support and the daily routine.
Contact St Benedict Catholic School directly for the complete admissions process. Ask about entry assessments, available places, tuition and fees, any faith or family participation expectations, and the services the school can provide for your child's learning needs. Buying a nearby home does not reserve a private-school seat.
