Seton School (Manassas, Virginia)

About the School

Seton Junior-Senior High School is an accredited, private, co-educational school operated by Catholic laymen dedicated to promoting the established tradition of Catholic secondary education. We teach orthodox, traditional Catholicism, in complete harmony with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church as taught by the Holy Father. We stress individual attention, high academic standards, high standards of conduct, close cooperation with parents, a family atmosphere and activities available to all students.

History of the School

Seton opened its doors in 1975, the year of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's canonization. Located in the Manassas, Virginia historic area, it has steadily grown to an enrollment of over 350 students, from families throughout Northern Virginia and beyond. Seton's smaller size means students get more individual attention, are more involved, and a family atmosphere exists where older students assist younger in many different ways.

Seton School is officially affiliated with the Diocese of Arlington, under the authority of the bishop in matters of religious education and the qualifications of its religion teachers, who are certified by the diocese. In all other areas Seton is independent, and retains autonomy in curriculum and methods. Seton is not a diocesan school and does not receive any diocesan subsidies.
