Archdiocese of New YorkBuilding For the Future
These values have remained
steadfast throughout the arch-
dioceses long and distinguished
history of providing a Christ-
centered education one that focuses on
educating the mind, body and soul of a child.
While were maintaining those traditional
values, at the same time, were embracing
the 21st Century through modernized sys-tems that meet the needs of todays fami-
lies. For more than 200 years, our core fun-
damentals have stood the test of time and
worked everywhere, providing high quality
education from the bustling neighborhoods
of the Bronx and Staten Island to the quiet
hamlets of Ulster and Dutchess counties
and the countless communities in bet ween.
Today, the Archdiocese of New York edu-
cates nearly 72,000 students in 218 elemen-
tary and secondary schools and in excellent
early childhood programs. In fact, the Arch-
diocese of New York is one of the largestproviders of early childhood programs in
the metropolitan area with more than 7,500
children in Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and free universal
pre-kindergarten (UPK) programs.
Our nationally recognized schools pre-
pare students to be able to reach their full
potential in life intellectually, spiritually
and physically. Of our high school seniors,
98% graduate and 96% go on to post-
secondary education. Our graduates have
gone on to become respected leaders in
their communities and in the fields of law,
finance, education, technology, public ser-vice, civil service, athletics and just about
every other profession imaginable.
We are committed to keeping our schools
excellent, affordable and accessible. We
celebrate diversity in a community of
shared values and welcome children of
all backgrounds. Our faith-based mission
hasnt changed because it works.
As we restructure our schools in newlydefined regions and continue our commit-
ment to professional development for our
dedicated teachers, we have also instituted
new programs to introduce new families to
our schools. This year, in every region, uni-
versal open houses called Touring Tues-
days were created for parents to learn
more about Catholic education and assist
them in the enrollment process.
Touring Tuesdays are set for Feb. 11,
March 11 and May 13 from 911 a.m. to
make it easier for busy parents to tour
our schools, meet our exceptional facultyand witness a Catholic education in ac-
tion. Reservations are required and can be
made online at www.BuildBoldFutures.org,
or by calling the bilingual phone line (646)
794-2885.
Our website, www.BuildBoldFutures.org,
makes it easier for parents to find and in-
teract with school representatives who can
schedule tours and advise them throughout
the enrollment process. The archdiocese
has made a commitment to provide the
highest level of customer service for all
families to ensure individual schools havethe resources necessary to reach the next
generation of Catholic students.
By providing continuing education for our
faculty and staff, the archdiocese is ensur-
ing that lifelong learning isnt only for the
students. When our educators are empow-
ered to improve their courses and curricu-
lums, our students reap the rewards.
Catholic schools have historically been
a gateway out of poverty for diverse
populations. Because this continues to
be an important role for the archdiocese,
bilingual operators are available 24/7 and
a robust community outreach program
and scholarships are available for under-
served Hispanic-Latino children in an ini-
tiative co-sponsored by The University of
Notre Dame.
Through these bold efforts, the arch-
diocese is reshaping and adapting our
approach to meet todays needs while re-
inforcing our time-honored traditions. A
Catholic education is an investment that
pays invaluable dividends. It starts in the
classroom and continues for a lifetime.
We invite you to become part of our
Catholic community. To learn more, visit
