Service Learning Program
Seton has a Service Learning Program based on its identity as a Catholic school, in accordance with the Vincentian Spirit and the Mission of the Daughters of Charity. Students must complete a minimum of 20 hours of service per school year, 10 of which must be given to the disadvantaged. Most students exceed these minimum requirements.
