Between February of 1985 and September of 1998, the Seton Foundation for Learning expanded from one classroom to three schools serving students with developmental disabilities ages 2.9 to 21 years old. The Mother Franciska Elementary School opened in September of 1986 with one kindergarten classroom. Each consecutive year a classroom was added and in September of 1989, the first intermediate classroom was added for children ages nine to fourteen years old. Currently, the Mother Franciska Elementary School consists of six classrooms serving students between the ages of five and fourteen.
In September of 1994, the Joan Ann Kennedy Memorial Preschool opened, serving students with disabilities ages 2.9 to 5. The preschool is a New York State Department of Education approved program. Housed in the same building as the elementary school, the preschool consists of four small supportive classrooms that range from six students, one teacher and one teacher assistant (6:1:1) to ten students, one teacher and two teacher assistants (10:1:2).
In September 1998, a long-term goal was met when the Bishop Patrick V. Ahern High School opened on the grounds of Moore Catholic High School. The Bishop Ahern High School serves students with developmental disabilities ages fourteen to twenty-one years old.
While the preschool program is a NYS Department of Education approved preschool and evaluation site, the elementary school and high school programs are private and funded through private donations, grants, tuition, and fundraising events.
