The following is a paid message from Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of New York.

A Catholic education is the stepping stone to your child’s journey. Beyond an excellent education, Catholic schools instill family values, spirituality, and a sense of community. For many, Catholic schools are a home away from home – a safe, nurturing learning environment in a rapidly changing world.

New York families with children entering grades Pre-K or Grades K to 8 are switching to Catholic Schools because: they are family-friendly – offering a welcoming school community and extended daily hours; they offer parental support – free counseling services and financial aid at most schools; they prepare students for high school and beyond – advanced prep programs that instill learning, self-discipline and faith; and they deliver Academic Achievement – Reading and Math proficiency continue to outpace New York public schools in the most recent New York State testing.

Now is the time to invest in your child’s education: Catholic school admissions for 2024-2025 open today. Families who enroll before April 15, 2024 will save $100 per child in registration fees.
