UPDATE REGARDING ROSETTA STONE COURSES

For several years, Seton Home Study School has partnered with Rosetta Stone to provide online foreign language courses to our students. Unfortunately, due to changes outside of our control, Seton will no longer be able to provide these courses in the long term. We want to make sure all families are fully informed about what this means moving forward.

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible for your family. We have outlined the key dates and deadlines below so you can plan accordingly for your student’s coursework.

Key Dates and Deadlines

• Beginning October 1, 2025:
• Seton will no longer accept new enrollments for Rosetta Stone Spanish I Online, Rosetta Stone French I Online, and Rosetta Stone German I Online.
• Beginning October 1, 2026:
• Seton will no longer accept new enrollments for all second- and third-year Rosetta Stone courses.
• Students enrolling in a Rosetta Stone Course BEFORE August 24, 2026:
• You will have 12 months to complete your Rosetta Stone course.
• After 12 months, your license will expire.
• Students enrolling in a Rosetta Stone Course ON or AFTER August 24, 2026:
• You will have until August 24, 2027 to complete your course.
• After this date, the license will expire.
• Seton is unable to purchase any license that extends beyond this date.

Important Note for Planning

If your student is beginning a Rosetta Stone course this year, please plan carefully. Students must allow enough time to completethe second-year courses (or third-year courses, if applicable) before the final deadline of August 24, 2027.

Other Seton Language Courses

As an alternative to Rosetta Stone, Seton also provides comprehensive textbook-based courses for all three levels of Spanish and Latin. We are committed to continuing to maintain and improve these course offerings.

Independent Study Option

In light of these changes, Seton will waive the Independent Study course fee for families who choose to complete their foreign language requirements using their own Rosetta Stone license.

Families who already own a Rosetta Stone license—or who prefer to purchase one independently—may choose to complete their foreign language studies through this method. Students using Rosetta Stone through their own license as an Independent Study are not impacted by the above listed deadlines.

Seton does not provide software licenses, tests, or additional materials for any Rosetta Stone course taken as an independent study.
