Train a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not swerve from it. – Proverbs 22:6

Welcome!

Founded by Mrs. Anne Carroll in 1975, the year of Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton’s canonization, Seton School is a private, co-educational school serving students from grades 7 to 12.

To learn more about Seton’s humble beginnings and the so-called “little school that could,” we invite you to read the following article: Anne Carroll builds her school of dreams – The Arlington Catholic Herald

Seton is dedicated to promoting the tradition of Catholic secondary education and stresses rigorous academics, high standards of conduct, close cooperation with parents, and offers a multitude of activities available to all students.

Annual Open House

Families interested in Seton are strongly encouraged to attend our Open House for parents and prospective students. The Open House provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the philosophy and academic standards of Seton School. Following the formal presentation, visitors will meet our faculty, tour the school, talk with current students, and attend “mini-classes” in several subject areas. Both buildings will also be available for tours. Additionally, you may also learn more about Seton School by watching welcome videos from our founder, Mrs. Anne W. Carroll, our Department Chairs, and some of Seton’s integral volunteers.

Next Open House:

Sunday, November 3, 2024 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Formal Presentation begins at 2 P.M. in the gymnasium located in the main building. Mini classes and a reception will follow in the Corpus Christi building.

Financial Aid

For Financial Aid consideration, families of accepted students must complete a financial aid application and provide requested financial documentation to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. FACTS, an independent  third party, assesses a family’s financial situation and recommends to Seton School the level of aid a family requires. The Seton administration exclusively makes final determination of all awarded aid. Seton’s financial assistance comes through a work program. Families receiving reduced tuition must work in various capacities to contribute to the betterment of Seton School. If the assigned work is not completed, then tuition will be assessed. For additional information about FACTS, please refer to: https://factsmgt.com/parent-faqs/.

​Seton School does not discriminate in its admissions or in any of its programs on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
