Seat of Wisdom Classical Academy

A hybrid school that offers core curriculum subjects plus co-curricular enrichment in two complementary programs that provide students with a solid preparation for high school while giving parents greater flexibility in balancing school and family life.

Seat of Wisdom Classical Academy (SWCA), located in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is a Catholic hybrid school for students in Grades 3 to 8 that seeks to assist parents in their role as the primary educators of their children by offering rigorous instruction in core academic subjects as well as co-curricular classes and opportunities for extra-curricular activities.

SWCA’s innovative schedule is designed to provide parents with the core classes they need and the co-curricular enrichment they want in two complementary programs that give parents greater flexibility in integrating school and family life. Parents can choose to enroll their children in one program or both.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, SWCA offers classes in Core Curriculum subjects like English, history, math, and science. On Tuesday and Thursday, our Center for the Arts offers classes in co-curricular subjects—foreign language, art, drama, and music—as well as opportunities for extra-curricular activities. Classes are taught by experienced and dedicated teachers. Students whose parents choose to enroll them in both programs will have access to a five-day a week, fully-integrated classical liberal arts education.

Grounded in the Catholic Faith and under the patronage of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, SWCA strives to create an environment in which the Faith is taught and modeled and in which students and their families can form friendships that will support them in their commitment to living a Christ-centered life.
