About Seton. Seton Education Partners is a non-profit education consultancy co-founded in 2009 by KIPP Foundation co-founder Scott Hamilton and Teach For America alumna Stephanie Saroki de García where entrepreneurial, results-oriented leaders work on smarter ways to serve disadvantaged children and inner-city Catholic schools. Seton has pioneered two K-8 school models to serve the poor where Catholic schools are disappearing. 

About the Network. The Seton Blended Learning Network is an innovative twelve school, seven city blended learning network (Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Chicago and New Orleans) driven by results, smart collaboration, and character formation that serves over 3,000 students, 98% of whom are minorities and over two-thirds of whom qualify for the federal meals program. Our model employs a mixture of technology, creative problem-solving, game-changing “no excuses” school culture, and nationwide sharing of best practices. As our early results show, this approach can help Catholic schools continue their social justice mission of providing character-building, opportunity-equalizing, and faith-forming education for children most in need. The program has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Education Week, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and US Catholic. To learn more you can watch our new video, read an overview of the model, view the results, look at the profiles of current Network schools, and check out our FAQ.
