NEW BEDFORD Global Learning Charter Public School is expanding its campus and curriculum with a move into a Diocese of Fall River property.
The charter school signed a 25-year lease with the diocese including a five-year extension which covers both the main building at 190 Ashley Blvd. and the adjacent former St. Anthony s convent building next door at 106 Bullard St. The new building will house a state-of-the-art STEAM program, which educates students in the area of science, technology, engineering, arts and math.
Over the years, schools have reinforced the STEM curriculum for a successful pathway for students, but it is only recently that the letter A has been incorporated into the acronym, symbolizing the importance of art in students studies.

NEW BEDFORD A New Bedford priest accused of sexually abusing a minor has filed a defamation suit against the Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River.
Daniel Lacroix, 61, was placed on administrative leave for alleged misconduct in November 2019. At the time, he was serving as co-pastor at three North End churches St. Joseph-St. Therese, St. Mary, and Our Lady of Fatima Parishes.
