Seven Catholic schools in Philadelphia and Bucks County will close
The Archdiocese announced this morning it will close seven schools in Philadelphia and Bucks County at the end of this school year.
As the Inquirer reports, declining enrollment would mean tuition would have to increase far too much to keep the schools operating.
Closing are:
Ascension of Our Lord in Kensington
St. Anne in Kensington
St. Cyprian in Cobbs Creek
St. Hugh of Cluny in Fairhill
Our Lady of Fatima in Bensalem
St. Martin of Tours in New Hope
St. Thomas Aquinas in Croydon
