Important Announcement

On March 16, 2026, the Office of the Superintendent of Schools announced that, as part of the ongoing School Renewal Plan, parish and school leaders have prayerfully discerned changes to strengthen and sustain Catholic education for future generations. Beginning at the end of the current academic year, a small number of schools will close and some programs will be consolidated. These steps reflect responsible stewardship of the resources entrusted to our Catholic schools in service of the broader mission of Catholic education (click to view the announcement letter in English here and in Spanish here; and click here to view the press release). 

Below is the list of schools affected by these changes. Please click on the expandable sections for each school to learn more about the transition and the next steps for your family. 

We are committed to supporting you throughout this transition with care and personal attention. Every student will have the opportunity to continue their Catholic education at another Catholic school in the Archdiocese of New York. We encourage you to contact your Regional Director of Enrollment to learn about the available options and support your child's continued faith-filled education.
