We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

S.S. Seward Institute is in Florida NY. It is near Warwick NY. I have been in S.S. Seward since middle school. It's a small school with a lot of offerings in a small community. I have enjoyed my time there. I feel that the school has prepared me very well to enter college as a freshman.
