April 29, 2015 PLATTSBURGH - Bishop Terry R. LaValley has approved an educational grade reconfiguration for Seton Academy Elementary School and Seton Catholic Central Jr./Sr. High School. Effective with the start of the new school year in September, the Seton Schools will be officially moving the incoming 6th grade Class of 2022 from its traditional self-contained classroom at Seton Academy Elementary School at 23 Charles Street to the Seton Catholic Central Junior High at 206 New York Road. Seton Academy will be accepting additional applications for their newly formed pre-kindergarten classrooms for 4 year olds in addition to grades K-5 while Seton Catholic is now accepting applications for grades 6-12 for the 2015-2016 academic year. “We are proud to announce the expansion of our middle school campus by transitioning the 6th grade class,” said Chris Hay, president of the Education Council of the Seton Schools. “This move will allow us to accommodate our increasing enrollment demands and position us for future growth as we implement our five year strategic plan,” Hay noted that Seton faculty pride themselves on their dedication to the mission of Catholic education and a personal passion of teaching and learning. Meeting the academic bar of New York State’s new curriculum standards is not viewed by Seton faculty as an academic challenge as much as it is a personal commitment to success, he said. A few highlights of positive alternatives to public school education at Seton include: “We are now accepting applications for Pre-K and Kindergarten-grade 5 at Seton Academy and Middle School (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12) but spaces are filling up quickly, so please apply today to reserve your space today,” said Lynn M. Gilbert, director of Institutional Advancement & Enrollment Management for the Seton Schools. photo supplied |
