Faculty and Staff of Seton Academy are excited to embark on this journey of faith as we re-write the history of Catholic education in Rochester.  We would like you to consider us as an extension of your family as, together, we work to educate your children in the Catholic faith.  You will see this as you work together with our faculty as they work with you to create plans to meet the educational needs of your child in our newly established authentically Catholic curriculum. 

Seton Academy can only succeed if our families and community are dedicated to the success of Catholic education.   That dedication is demonstrated by active participation in the school community by volunteering time, effort or money to advance the cause of Catholic education.  We seek volunteers for many aspects of the school, to include the Board of Directors and membership on various committees that help run the school.  Completing and returning the form below will help open the door to your active participation in growing Seton Academy.  We  look forward to working with you! 
 

I want to take a step back and thank everyone who has contributed to helping get Seton Academy to this point in such a short time. There are many people who have worked hard to get the Academy to its current state. As I am sure you can appreciate, it is no small task to start a new school in less than 4 months. All volunteers are business owners, employees, and parents who have full time commitments, however they still put the time in to ensure Seton Academy will be a viable, strong school this year.

We just had our walkthrough with the NH Department of Education and the inspector was very impressed with our effort to date. He does not see any barrier to us getting licensed in September and is committed to helping us make that a reality. We just completed out Curriculum review and recommendation and the Board will be voting on approving those recommendations during our next meeting.

We are working closely with Holy Rosary and are eager to meet our new incoming pastor, Fr. Matt Schultz. Our classroom space has been cleaned and cleared out for us to begin setup for September. We have a Communications committee, a Fundraising Committee and an Enrollment Committee all working to make Seton Academy as successful as it can be!

We have volunteers helping us move furniture, install security controls, obtain equipment, setting up technology, etc. -it is humbling to see the outpouring of support. I won’t name people because I KNOW I will forget someone, but please know you are so very appreciated! Every single one of you!

Educating in Faith,
