Parent Testimonials

“Although a child's character is primarily molded at home, it is practiced and also molded outside of the home. We wanted our child's education to be provided by Seton Catholic, where morals, religion and character building are just as important as basic education fundamentals. We couldn't be happier with the helpful, kind and intelligent student our son is, and we owe much of that to the teachers and staff at Seton. When you join Seton Catholic, you become part of a loving family and support system unlike any other that I have seen elsewhere.”     Seton Catholic Parent, Mrs. Jodie Scheiben

“Coming from out of state and being new to Richmond, we found Seton Catholic Primary to be a true and genuine extension of our family. Faculty and staff encourage our children to be themselves and to be the very best they can be academically, spiritually and morally. As a frequent volunteer, I have seen this consistent loving support for students first hand. We are blessed to have our two children enrolled at Seton Catholic.”   Seton Catholic Parent, Mrs. Trina Vien

“When we started looking for a pre-school for our daughter we needed something that worked with our work schedules and that would be a great environment for her.  A friend recommended Seton to us and I am thankful every day that they did. We have continued with Seton past pre-school because I can see how much our daughter has learned, and continues to learn.   She cannot imagine going to school and not being allowed to pray or have religious studies. The support from teachers and staff that go the extra mile to help the students, even if it's just taking a minute to go to the church with them to say a prayer stands out to me. I can see the affect that Seton has had on my daughter in helping to shape the thoughtful and caring person she is becoming. We have been very blessed to become a part of the Seton Catholic family and look forward to many more years.”    Seton Catholic Parent, Mrs. Heather Cauley

“Being new to the Richmond area, we were looking for a school that would provide our children a well- rounded education. We wanted it to be one that would not only fuel their desire to learn, but nourish their souls at the same time. We have been blessed with the opportunity to watch our children grow academically, socially and spiritually over the last 4 years. They have also developed, what we know will become, life-long friendships. For all this, we are truly thankful for Seton Catholic and it's wonderful staff.”     Seton Catholic Parent, Mrs. Mariana Aleman

“I chose to send my son to Seton Catholic High School because I know they will teach him that faith and personal character are just as important as his academic success. I am confident they will prepare him to be successful in accomplishing his life goals. Seton has embraced my family as part of their own and has been essential in molding my son into the bright young man he is today.”    Seton Catholic Parent, Mrs. Stephanie Coleman

“I chose Seton for my child because, I wanted her to experience smaller classroom sizes, individual attention, higher academic standards, and best of all she gets to learn about God while attending school. When you decide to enroll your child at Seton, your family becomes part of a network of families with the same goals.”     Seton Catholic Parent, Ms. Ashlee Orr

“I visited all the private and public schools in Richmond, when I was in search of a school that would be a good fit for Lydia. The day I visited Seton, I felt welcome into the community.  After my visit I went to my car and wrote the things that I observed on my visit, they were: friendly helpful staff, teachers that were interested in every student’s opinion, feels like a family, strong faith values, positive character building in the classroom and the students were challenged academically. I enrolled Lydia, in preschool, at Seton Primary that fall and she is now in the 7th grade at Seton High School. Seton has helped shaped Lydia into an academically strong, devout Catholic that is a caring & respectful young lady. Seton gives every student a great foundation on which they can carry with them throughout their lives. These are just some of the reasons that I chose Seton Catholic School for my daughter.”    Seton Catholic Parent, Ms. Stacie Perkins

"We feel the most important gift we can give to our children is the foundation of faith. Seton Schools not only lay that foundation, but they work to strengthen it. They are taught to be thankful, recognize all they have been given and pray to God for all of their blessings. They go to mass weekly and pray the rosary together. Our children see parents working together as a community.  Thank God for Seton and God bless all the staff and teachers."   Seton Catholic Parents, Dr. Jacques & Mrs. Lina Daoud

"I have read many wonderful testimonials covering why people chose to send their children to Seton Catholic Schools. I would like to touch on the reasons our children have stayed at Seton Catholic through the 12th grade. Brady, Sarah and Brooke have been given the opportunity to thrive academically, spiritually, socially and athletically at Seton. The high expectations of administrators and teachers and the exceptional involvement of Seton parents have pushed them to do their best in all areas of their education. The ability to practice their faith in their education and to learn the value of service to others has given our children good foundations and moral compasses that will help them to make good decisions in college and beyond and continue to thrive after they leave school."  Seton Catholic Parent, Mr. Vince Gray

"The one underlying theme as to why we are a “Seton Family” is the phrase community building.  We absolutely believe our four children have received a high quality, challenging education along with good study habits that contribute to being life-long learners.  Seton Catholic Schools have also modeled Christian values and behavior, which supports those values learned in the home and creates life-long seekers of Truth and disciples of Christ. But community building is the fabric that holds the other values in place.  We came to Richmond 20 years ago with our oldest child.  From the first time we inquired into Seton, in 1998, we knew that Mrs. Cheryl Kitchin and Mrs. Angie Parker would be fostering a true community.  That theme has endured for our four children daily in the classroom, the playground, through service, in friendships, athletics, extra-curricular activities, projects and all things Seton.  We want our children to know and feel what being part of a community is and take that experience into the larger community throughout life."   Seton Catholic Parents, Dr. Tina and Mr. Dan Reichley
