INTEGRATED
MULTIMEDIA
Multimedia is integrated into all
course materials. Each week begins
with a weekly video introduction
to quickly review past weeks and
introduce students to new material.
Throughout the week’s lessons,
images, audio files, or videos
(produced by Seton, or by third-
parties) are provided to students to
give them the best learning experience
possible. Interactive quizzes are also
integrated throughout lessons to
reinforce important concepts and help
students prepare for tests.
INTUITIVE
DESIGN
Seton has developed an easy-to-use
design for daily course materials.
Lesson content is broken down
throughout the day into color-
coordinated sections to help the
student organize and process the
day’s material. The design easily
accommodates text, images, videos,
audios, and interactivities, bringing
all elements together in a unified and
consistent presentation.
INTERACTIVE LESSON PLANS
& MATERIALS
Unlike printed lesson plans, course
content and course instructions are
integrated into one unified experience.
After logging in, students are guided
through their coursework on a day-
to-day basis and follow interactive
instructions to complete their
coursework. As they do so, students are
given visual cues that help them gauge
their progress in the course.
WHAT COURSES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE?
Over the next few years, Seton plans to create SetonOnline
versions of all its high school offerings. Some courses are
already available to students. For the most up-to-date listing
of available courses, visit:

IS THERE AN EXTRA FEE FOR
SETONONLINE DIGITAL COURSES?
During its introductory phase, we will be offering
SetonOnline courses at no additional charge to students
enrolled with Seton. Your feedback is crucial in helping us
improve and refine the SetonOnline learning experience,
especially as we prepare a release of exciting new offerings
from Seton.
DO SETONONLINE DIGITAL COURSES
REQUIRE INTERNET ACCESS?
Yes, SetonOnline digital courses require internet access. To
access the SetonOnline interface, an internet connection and
internet browser is required.
Parents should also be aware that some courses feature links
to external sites or incorporate third-party embedded videos
(from EWTN, YouTube, C-Span, etc.) that complement the
lesson material being studied.
CAN I SWITCH TO A DIGITAL COURSE IF ONE
IS RELEASED AFTER I START A PRINT COURSE?
In most cases, it will be easy for your student to switch over
to a digital course. Most SetonOnline courses will be based
on existing print-based offerings, with assignments and
readings in alignment. Upcoming courses like English 9, for
example, are designed to make a mid-year transition to the
online version easy and intuitive.
An exception would be courses that are entirely new offerings
that do not correspond to an existing course offering.
For instance, the new online Economics and American
Government courses are entirely new and do not correspond
to existing print courses.
