About Seton. Seton Education Partners was co-founded in 2009 by KIPP Foundation co-founder Scott Hamilton and Teach For America alumna Stephanie Saroki de García to expand opportunities for traditionally underserved children to receive a Catholic education that builds knowledge, character, and faith. Seton does this by strategically infusing creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, talented leadership, and philanthropic dollars to reverse the widespread decline of urban Catholic education. Seton pioneers new, “break-the-mold” approaches to achieving the academic, character, religious and social justice goals of Catholic education in an economically viable way.

About the Network. The Seton Blended Learning Network is an innovative thirteen school, seven city blended learning network driven by results, smart collaboration, and character formation that serves over 3,250 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 The Hechinger Report. 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.

Our Results. Since joining the network, Seton Blended Learning schools have seen climbing enrollment, reduced per pupil costs, and improved student achievement. Scholars at Seton Blended Learning schools grow 1.2 times faster than the national average in math and 1.3 times faster in reading, demonstrating growth on-par with or outpacing that of many high-performing charter networks. Furthermore, Seton Blended Learning Network schools will realize a 20% operating cost reduction in year two and beyond, thus increasing the viability and showing the way for scores of other financially struggling Catholic schools to do the same. Click here to read more about the Network’s results.
