Catholic Homeschool Curriculum
High School Science
Faith and reason exist in perfect harmony. Indeed, the study of the natural sciences help us understand the beauty and order of God’s creation and can help confirm us in our Faith. Our task in teaching science is two-fold. Firstly, we need to provide a thorough understanding of both the basic and more advanced scientific concepts that every student needs to know in order to become a well-educated adult. Secondly, we want to inspire a love of science and encourage students to embark on a life-long interest that will enrich their lives, or to enter into careers in the sciences.

Deacon Gene McGuirk
I am the Director of Academic Counseling. I coordinate the activities of the academic counseling staff for both the elementary and secondary levels. I am the father of four children, all of whom were home schooled with Seton for at least part of their pre-college educations. I have a B.A. from Queens College, NY, an M.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara, an M.B.A. from Adelphi University, Long Island, and 18 credits toward a masters degree in Theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville. I have teachings licenses from New York, North Carolina, and California. I was ordained a deacon in the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in 1988.
It has been my great pleasure for over fifteen years to be helping families provide an excellent education, both secular and Catholic, to their families. It is my way to help build the Body of Christ throughout the country and the world. I help families develop the curriculum for their students, and I specifically help with high school counseling. If you or your friends would like to learn about Seton home schooling, please give me a call.
