We are excited to announce that, beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year, St. Anthony School and St. Paul School will combine to form St. Anthony-St. Paul School. This new St. Anthony-St. Paul School will operate as one school with two campuses:

  • The current St. Anthony School in Nanuet will host students in Grades 2 – 8.
  • The current St. Paul’s School in Valley Cottage will become a dedicated early childhood learning center focused on students in Pre-Kindergarten/Universal PreK, Kindergarten & Grade 1.

Modifying these two schools to a grade-level focus will provide new, exciting academic and program enhancement opportunities beyond what is currently offered to both student bodies. We have an exciting opportunity to pilot a new and more robust focus on concentrated instruction for grades 3-8, while better serving the unique needs of our youngest students.

We look forward to seeing you for an information session to be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 27th, 2020 in the St. Anthony gymnasium.

This web page will answer many of the questions you will have in advance of this information session. If you have any additional questions, please contact:

  • Our regional Director of Enrollment, Kelli DeRocha, is available to answer any questions and provide updates on how the process will unfold. You can reach Mrs. DeRocha by phone at (347) 962-9902, or by email at: Kelli.DeRocha@archny.org. You can also call our parent helpline at (646) 794-2885 between 9:00am and 5:00pm Monday-Friday.

  • Will my children be eligible for financial aid?
    • If your child received financial aid in the past, he/she will still be eligible.

    • As soon as a financial aid award decision is reached, you will receive a notification of your child’s financial aid directly from TADS, as you have in the past.

New Parents: Will I need to reapply to the new school?

  • If you have already submitted an admissions and financial assistance application for 2020-2021, you will not have to reapply to the new school.
    • The Archdiocese of New York Enrollment Office will ensure that your child’s admissions application is updated in our online TADS admissions System. If you applied for financial assistance, that application will also be transferred to the new St. Anthony-St. Paul School. Your TADS user name and password will remain unchanged.
  • If you have NOT yet submitted an admissions and financial assistance application for 2020-2021: Where do I send a New Admissions Application?

We are excited to begin this great new venture with you, and will make every effort to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible.
