- At the school of interest for parents who would like one-on-one assistance from the school’s staff in completing the online applications for Admissions and Financial Assistance.
“We are pleased to open our online admissions process on December 1 this year, providing more time for parents and families to visit Catholic schools near their home or work, and apply for the school that best suits their needs,” said Dr. Timothy J. McNiff, Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of New York.
Dr. McNiff added, “Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York offer a unique combination of academic and spiritual development that help children of all backgrounds establish the foundation for lifelong success. Touring Tuesdays – including the upcoming event on Tuesday, December 5 – provide an ideal opportunity for parents and students to experience first-hand the value of a Catholic education.”
The remaining Touring Tuesday dates are:
- December 5, 2017
- January 9, 2018

Since its inception in 2013, the Touring Tuesdays initiative has been attended by thousands of families and has resulted in more than 7,000 new student enrollments from Pre-K through Grade 8, across the Archdiocese.
“Our Catholic school students learn in a secure environment where respect, courtesy and service to others are always part of the curriculum. These Catholic values enrich not only our students, but also their families, parishes, and communities,” Dr. McNiff concluded.
Reflecting the stellar academic quality of Catholic Schools, the 2016-17 New York State Education Department Examination results show that:
- Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of New York showed consistent, significant growth in student’s Math and ELA scores on New York State Exams over the past three years.
- Last year, Catholic school students outperformed New York State and New York City public school students in terms of the percentage of students meeting or exceeding proficiency standards in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA).
Touring Tuesday reservations are encouraged and can be made online at https://catholicschoolsny.org/visit, or by calling our bilingual helpline, 646-794-2885. School tours can also be arranged by appointment.
