==== History ====
FLCS was formed in 1991, and is housed in the Calvary Chapel (then 1st Baptist Church) building, where Sunday School classes were typically held. The school was primarily a single hallway with classrooms, with the southern part of the building ending in the Church, which also served as a gymnasium and cafeteria. The northern end of the building contained additional classrooms, the main office, and a small chapel. In 2001, construction began on an eastern wing, taking out the library and old kitchen, which housed junior high classrooms and a new cafeteria. A regular sized gymnasium was added to the northern wing of the building for athletics and physical education classes. The southern sanctuary serves as a full-time church.

Finger Lakes Christian School (FLCS) is a private Pre-K through 12th grade school in Seneca Falls. It shares the building with Calvary Chapel Seneca Falls. The current principal is Pastor Scott Van Kirk, with previous principals being Mrs. Catherine DeYoung and Ms. Sandy Carol. The school was established in 1991. The school is a ministry arm of Calvary Chapel Seneca Falls, and aims to offer an alternative to public education for Christian children. The school enrolls 60-65 students. Its admission policy is that at least one parent or guardian must be a born-again Christian. As well as the general curriculum, High School pupils attend Bible classes twice a week, and all students have devotional meetings daily with their teachers and attend a weekly Chapel service. FLCS students can choose from interscholastic soccer, basketball and volleyball, music programs, drama, shop and Home Economics.

History

FLCS was formed in 1991, and is housed in the Calvary Chapel (then 1st Baptist Church) building, where Sunday School classes were typically held. The school was primarily a single hallway with classrooms, with the southern part of the building ending in the Church, which also served as a gymnasium and cafeteria. The northern end of the building contained additional classrooms, the main office, and a small chapel. In 2001, construction began on an eastern wing, taking out the library and old kitchen, which housed junior high classrooms and a new cafeteria. A regular sized gymnasium was added to the northern wing of the building for athletics and physical education classes. The southern sanctuary serves as a full-time church.

St. Patrick's School was an outreach of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, located on 81 East Bayard Street. The school was constructed in 1879 and received an addition in 1951. In addition to twelve classrooms, the school contained a library, a gymnasium, and a liturgy office The school closed in 2005 after suffering severe financial difficulties.

St. John Bosco School was a private Catholic Pre-K-Grade 8 school located at the former site of St Patrick's. The school was formed by the merger in 2005 of St. Mary's School in nearby Waterloo and St. Patrick's School in Seneca Falls. After two years, however, the new school was closed due to decreased enrollment caused by rumors of the school's potential closing. The building is now used as offices by the Town of Seneca Falls
