ST ELIZABETH ANN SETON CATHOLIC SCHOOL

What ST ELIZABETH ANN SETON CATHOLIC SCHOOL does

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is a small private Catholic K-8 elementary school and parish institution operating as a single campus at 2901 Huffman Road in Anchorage, Alaska. The organization is operated under the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau as a religious nonprofit, serving families seeking Catholic education in the Anchorage area. The school reports a 26:1 student-to-teacher ratio, 100% state-certified teaching credentials, and an outcome metric stating that 80% of students score above the national average.

The core product is a K-8 Catholic education grounded in whole-child development across spiritual, academic, social, and emotional dimensions. Ancillary faith-formation modules extend the offering beyond enrolled students and include K-12 Faith Formation with sacramental preparation (First Reconciliation, First Communion, Confirmation), Adult Faith Formation, OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults), Alpha courses, Youth Ministry, and Young Adult Ministry. The school operates on a direct-to-consumer admissions model with no channel intermediaries; prospective families apply through an online enrollment system via FACTS SIS, schedule personal tours, attend an annual February Open House, or arrange classroom observations.

The business model is tuition-based and subscription-style, with monthly tuition of $800 per student for the 2026/2027 academic year. The organization also generates revenue through parish donations and targeted fundraising campaigns via OSV Parish Online Giving, including the SEAS School Shining SEAS Fund and the United in Mission Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. As a nonprofit parish-school, the organization is not equity-funded, has no disclosed revenue figures, and reinvests any surplus into its educational and faith-formation mission. The entity is not a commercial enterprise and is not a candidate for conventional PE/VC investment.
