A rapidly
accelerating crisis

1,191 Catholic schools have closed in the last decade.

As this trend continues, more than twelve million children in poverty, mostly from Hispanic and African-American families, will be left with few options—if any—beyond failing public schools.

A proven
national effort

Seton Education Partners expands opportunities for parents in underserved communities to choose an academically excellent, character rich, and—for those who seek it—vibrantly Catholic education for their children through creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, talented leadership, and public dollars.
