Catholic School: Enrollment Open for 2023-2024

The Walsh Family
Southern Tier Catholic School
Archbishop Walsh Academy

Yes, we are a private Catholic School, but our close-knit community is inclusive of all faiths (even those who don’t practice a faith). The point is to build values and character rooted in faith-based lessons. Together, we can work to help bring about the much-needed change in our culture.

Are families in your church dissatisfied with what the state and federal governments are imposing on public schools? Are children in your parish getting the wholesome education they deserve? Are larger school environments conducive to learning for your young parishioners? Walsh/STCS addresses all these concerns and more! Our doors are always open!

Students and families of all religious backgrounds seeking a private, faith-based education are always welcome to join us! Our dedicated staff is committed to the academic and social success of every student in a wholesome family environment. If you’d like us to share more, we would happily come to visit and get to know you!

Enrollment is open for the 2023-24 School Year!

Email our School President, Dr. Colleen Taggerty for more information: colleen.taggerty@walshstcs.org.
