Seton Academy

I have just attended a school function at Seton Academy for my children. I was very impressed with the staff and work my children are doing. They are in a faith-filled community where there is a strong commitment to academics. It is evident that the teachers are there because they care about the WHOLE child. As a parent, that's a top priority. I love the smaller class sizes and the individual attention my children receive on a daily basis. I highly recommend!

Fabulous small school with serious academic program. Highly recommended. Class size is small enough that each child gets individual attention, teachers are there because they truly care about the students. It's a gem of a school and not enough people know it. I consider our family to be lucky to have Seton Academy in our lives.

The only reason we sent our children to this school was because of a very special Kindergarten teacher. Unfortunately, the majority of the other teachers really are NOT that special. Add that to the fact that the affiliated church is only concerned about money ( I was turned away by the monsignor himself because I didn't "contribute" enough to my previous church! Unreal!). The new principle is not at all what Seton needed. She is really not kid friendly at all! Hello, this is a K-8 school, kids are your job! This school has done nothing but go down hill very rapidly over the last few years. As of next year neither of our children will be attending Seton.

The first few years at the school was excellent, however constant turnover of principals, teachers and administrative staff has left an undesirable environment. Due to the lack of experence some of the upper grade teachers have, children suffered academically. I would not recommend this school with the current facility in place.

Since transferring my children to another Catholic school in the area, I have realized the lack of academic challenge that exists at Seton. My children are doing well at their new schools but have to play "catch up" to children in their grades. A big factor in our leaving Seton was the change in principal. The new principal lacked certification, effective communication skills, and good leadership abilities. Staff changes resulted and happened frequently within the school year. It became too chaotic and the leadership void was evident. The more experienced teachers were valiant in their efforts to continue to provide a good academic environment, but were challenged by a lack of direction.

Simply a breath of fresh air. These are the most approachable teachers (and principal) I have ever experienced. They seek you out. Any questions posed are answered without hesitation. When a follow-up is needed or requested, they have never failed to do so. I have never felt any tension or apprehension in any of my encounters. They are very aware of an age appropriate academics and workloads that do not overwhelm the children. No endless make busy projects, pushing academics beyond their abilities or homework that consumes entire evenings or weekends. Their teaching styles and attitudes are very current. No old school teaching environment here. For those seeking a better school for a child with learning disabilities, the Aquinas program at Seton is outstanding. The genuine caring towards the children and the high level of communication towards parents was a welcome change for us and our child.
