A rapidly
accelerating crisis

More than 1,400 Catholic schools have closed in the last decade.

As this trend continues, children in underserved communities will be left with few—if any—options beyond the failing public schools in their neighborhoods.

Why We're Here

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.
