Summer Courses At Seton

This is the last call for applications for Summer Courses. If we do not receive enough applications the courses will have to be cancelled.

Elizabeth Seton High School will offer two one-half credit courses this summer for original credit. The fee for each course is $350.00. At least 12 students per course are needed in order to make it viable to offer the course.


#1:   Trigonometry and Analysis: This course is recommended for rising juniors and/or seniors. A grade of "B" or better must be attained in the Trigonometry and Analysis class in order to move into Honors Pre-Calculus in the fall.
The prerequisites for this course are at least a "B" in Algebra 2 and an "A-"in Geometry.  The current Algebra 2 book will be used for this course.  
This course runs June 16 through July 18 from 8:30 until noon.

#2:   Life Fitness/ Health & PE:  This course is a combination physical education, health & fun activities. Students will review lessons regarding health issues and will develop an exercise program to help them become persons of good health and fitness throughout life. Students will also participate in organized activities for fun. (Open for grades 9-12) The dates and times for this course are June 23 through July 21 from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. 

This is an excellent opportunity for those students who wish to take four years of music or art and/or LEAD and have little space in their schedules for health and PE requirements.

To reserve a place in one of the classes listed above, please click here or go to
 or contact lburke@setonhs.org . Tuition for these classes is due by May 15, 2014. 

Seton will also offer an SAT preparation course this summer. Dates and times have not been selected as of yet.
