Clinton Hill Catholic school’s sudden closure cuts it close to start of school year
St. Francis Xavier-Queen of All Saints Catholic Academy will close on Aug. 31. School starts on Sept. 4.
A Clinton Hill Catholic school will close at the end of the month. The sudden announcement, made Tuesday morning, comes just under a month shy of the start of a new school year.
The recently merged St. Francis Xavier-Queen of All Saints Catholic Academy at 300 Vanderbilt Ave. will close its doors on Aug. 31 after more than a century of educating, according to the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens.
St. Francis Xavier, originally located at 763 President St. in Park Slope, also served its community for more than 100 years before joining forces with Queen of All Saints on Vanderbilt last June.
