Pre-K3 - Grade 8 Catholic Education * Coed * All faiths welcome

Mother Seton School offers more than a solid academic and ethical foundation.  A genuinely loving and welcoming community - a true family of teachers, students and parents - helps shape children who grow strong and true.  Graduates are recognized as hard-working, high-achieving individuals of integrity, dedicated to bettering themselves and the world around them.

Small classes, hands-on learning and a well-rounded curriculum are complemented by a beautiful natural setting adjoining the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, who founded in 1810 the pioneering Catholic school that became Mother Seton School.  The Daughters of Charity continue her mission to provide an excellent, affordable Catholic education to all who seek it.  We are conveniently located just 25 minutes north of Frederick, with bus service and the most affordable tuition in the county.

What we do is refreshingly simple: Together we learn everyday. We welcome everyone.  We work hard always.  Because it's important.

As the largest provider of school-age programs in Frederick County, we help hundreds of children every day reach their fullest potential in a welcoming, supportive environment. By incorporating the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into all of our youth services programming, we give children the solid foundation they need to thrive—not only in school, but beyond.

Our Before and After School Enrichment (B.A.S.E.) program is for school aged children beginning with Kindergarten, and operates from 6:30 a.m. until the regular school day begins, and after school from school dismissal until 6:30 p.m. We follow the Frederick County school calendar and offer care on days that school opens late or dismisses early. On most school closing days, we also provide child care at designated sites. Children are provided with a nutritious snack every afternoon.

Our Early Learning Centers serve children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Care is offered from 6:30 am - 6:30 pm.  Breakfast, afternoon snacks, and milk are provided.  Our programs are designed to stimulate growth, provide academics and emphasize socialization skills.   We use the Creative Curriculum which is aligned with the Frederick County public school’s curriculum. These tools guide us in planning exciting and meaningful preschool activities that will help prepare your child for their entry into kindergarten. We also incorporate a music curriculum.

Our children have endless opportunities to enjoy a large variety of activities such as arts and crafts, science discoveries, writing, music & movement, language and literacy explorations, math activities, outdoor adventures, and much more. Instruction is delivered to individual children, small groups and in a large group setting.
