Considering Parochial School in Westchester? Touring Tuesdays Start Jan. 12

The Archdiocese of New York has announced the dates for its 2016 “Touring Tuesdays,” events at 140 elementary schools throughout the Archdiocese of New York.

Touring Tuesday open house events are designed to introduce prospective families to the life-long benefits and value of a Catholic education. These archdiocesan-wide open house events will take place on select Tuesdays throughout the school year from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., or by appointment.

“Touring Tuesdays provide an unprecedented opportunity for prospective parents and students to experience the benefits a faith-based education provides for the whole child,” said Dr. Timothy J. McNiff, Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of New York. “More than 98 percent of our high school seniors graduate and 98 percent of those graduates go on to post-secondary education, making a Catholic education one of best investments a parent can make in their children’s future.”
