Wellington C Mepham High School

Chatterton provided a great elementary school experience.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (SEAS) is a private Catholic School for Nursery-8th grade. I currently have two students that attend SEAS. Both of my girls started SEAS at the age of two in the Mommy and Me style “Our Time” Program and have been there ever since. SEAS has become our 2nd family. It’s a smaller school setting that fosters a true sense of community with dedicated and nurturing staff. The teachers at SEAS not only care about academic success, but students spiritual and emotional welfare. Each teacher that my children has had the pleasure of having, has taken the time to get to know my children in detailed way and what their individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses are. They always go above and beyond to let me know how they are doing. I can confidently say that my children are both thriving!! Aside from the importance of our faith and making that a part of their everyday lives, we also felt strongly that the smaller school environment would work better for our children then our current public school option for our neighborhood, where our children would be attending separate schools for their entire educational career and never get to experience school together. At SEAS they see each other all time, in the hallway, and at the many school wide events. They love being together and part of the larger community. Some other highlights that SEAS offers is a variety of after school activities, from sports, to arts, chess club, book club and much more.One my my favorite things about SEAS is that built in culture is teaching kids to take care of each other. The older students are given several responsibilities to work with, watch out for, and be the example for the younger children from prayer buddies, to reading buddies, STEM buddies and more. Our school hosts a ton of school wide family activities throughout the year and to see eight graders giving high fives to kindergarten's because they all know each other is an amazing and heart warming sight.I'm excited for my children to finish out middle school here and continue on the Catholic HS well prepared both academically and spiritually. I highly recommend this school, call and request tour!!

We are new to this school but the experience so far has been wonderful! My child was extremely nervous to start a new school but was warmly welcomed and embraced by the loving community of SEAS staff & families. The grace & courtesy extended towards my child by other students without prompting, was heart warming. More importantly, it is a testament to the character of this school's student body, the staff and the parents who are teaching kindness everyday. Mrs. Graziose, the principa, is passionate about faith based education & leads by example. She knows & cares for every child in the school, is present, receptive & responsive. Poor reviews should be ignored. I believe them to be in the absolute minority from what we have experienced in our time with SEAS. We are very happy with our decision. look forward to enrolling my other 2 children, & the many years ahead! I hope other prospective families will come to an open house & give SEAS consideration.
