As parents, we know that investing in the school family that best nurtures and forms our children is one of our most important responsibities. Thank you for your interest in allowing us to support you in your child's formation. We are a traditional, faithful Catholic community on a lovely 44-acre campus, with vigorous academics and vibrant sports and extracurriculars. We help students fall in love with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
Welcome!
We believe an excellent Catholic education should be affordable for every family. Over half of our students receive some form of aid.
I invite you to schedule a personal tour to see our school for yourself. See you around campus!

Admissions
As a Catholic, non-public school dedicated to academic excellence within a disciplined, virtue-centered environment, the school actively seeks students and families who have a positive attitude toward the value of a traditional Catholic education.Immunization Policy
Every student enrolled in a Catholic school in the state of Texas shall be immunized against vaccine preventable diseases caused by infectious agents in accordance with the immunization schedule adopted by the Texas Department of State Health Services. A student who fails to present the required evidence shall not be accepted for enrollment. Conscientious Objections: Catholic schools do not accept students who have received a parental choice or religious exemption from the immunizations required by Texas state law. Conscientious objections or waivers, which may be permissible for attendance in public schools, do not qualify as an exemption in Catholic Schools in Texas. (Atty. Gen. Op. GA-0420) See Appendix D in the TCCB ED Guide to Quality and Effectiveness. Exemption: The only exemption to the foregoing requirement is a medical exemption signed by a licensed physician (M.D. or D.O.) authorized to practice in the state of Texas. Provisional Enrollment: All immunizations should be completed by the first date of attendance. The law requires that students be fully vaccinated against the specified diseases. A student may be enrolled provisionally if the student has an immunization record that indicates the student has received at least one dose of each specified age-appropriate vaccine required by this rule. To remain enrolled, the student must complete the required subsequent doses in each vaccine series on schedule and as rapidly as is medically feasible and provide acceptable evidence of vaccination to the school.Age RequirementsSt. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School requires that a student entering the PK3 program be 3 years of age by September 1st. Students entering the PK4 program must be 4 years of age by September 1st. Students must be potty-trained. According to Texas State Law, a child must be 5 years of age by September 1st to enter Kindergarten. A child must be 6 years of age by September 1st to enter 1st grade.
Administration's Assessment
The most important qualification for acceptance into the school is the Administration's assessment that the applicant will enjoy a successful school experience. This assessment is made in consultation with the family, as well as through examination of the student's past academic and conduct records. The aforementioned records must be provided by parents prior to admission. If a child has been diagnosed with a learning difference, it is the parent's responsibility to notify the administration and submit documentation to the Learning Lab (preferably before assessment). All new students are conditionally admitted for the first nine weeks. According to Diocesan Policy #5000, attending a Catholic school is a privilege and not a right of a student. The conduct of a student or the parent of the student may cause the student to lose the privilege of attending St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School.
Non-Discriminatory Policy
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Religious educational institutions are exempt from Civil Rights legislation in the employment and enrollment of individuals of a particular religious persuasion. Preference in employment and admissions may be given to Catholic staff and students.
