The newest members of the SWS family were welcomed to our community with a New Family Social on Thursday, September 19, 2024. Members of the School Board, the HSA, and Student Council greeted new SWS parents and answered questions. Many SWS Faculty members also attended. It was a lovely evening! Welcome! We're so happy you chose St. William the Abbot School!

The tradition continues! SWS 6th graders embarked on the annual trip to Nature's Classroom in Connecticut, enjoying God's creation and time together. This once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity in the great outdoors affords students the opportunity to learn priceless leadership, social, and critical thinking skills. They’ll learn about and among nature in a hands-on setting, all while practicing teamwork and collaboration. We keep them in our prayers for a wonderful trip!

Opening in 1954, St. William the Abbot School has served generations of families in the local Seaford area for seven decades, preserving and building upon the foundation of excellence started by the Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk. St. William's is a beacon of Catholic Education on Long Island!
