Seton is an accredited, private, co-educational, Catholic junior & senior high school. Seton teaches orthodox, traditional Catholicism, in harmony with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and its leader, Pope Benedict XVI. Furthermore, the entire curriculum at Seton is grounded on a Christian understanding of the world and of the human person. In addition, the education experience at Seton emphasizes providing individual attention to the student, meeting and exceeding high academic standards, and holding students to high standards of conduct. These are coupled with close cooperation with parents, a family atmosphere, and making a variety of activities available to all students.

History of the School

What would become Seton High School was started by Dr. Anne Carroll in 1973 and called the Christian Commonwealth School. In 1975, Carroll moved the school from Warrenton to Manassas, Virginia and renamed it for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton who was canonized that year. From the sixteen first students of Seton, the school continued to grow. [Flach, Michael. [http://www.catholicherald.com/articles/04articles/brent0520.htm "Warren and Anne Carroll Receive the Brent Award"] , "The Catholic Herald", May 20, 2004. Accessed April 30, 2008] In 1982, the Seton Home Study program began. This program eventually became its own entity, known as Seton Home Study School. The enrollment of Seton High School finally reached the hundred student mark in 1989. After purchasing church buildings in 1980 at the present location of the campus, a number of additional expansions allowed the school to continue its growth. After the dedication of the St. Joseph's wing of the school in 1992, enrollment increased from 135 to 186 students. Later expansions include the John Paul II Center which was opened in 1994, the Our Lady of the Rosary wing (1995), and the Corpus Christi Center (2006). Currently the school has reached its capacity enrollment of approximately 350. [ [http://www.seton-school.org/pdf/handbook.pdf "Seton School Handbook"] Accessed May 21, 2008]

Members of the Seton class of 2008 enrolled in the following prestigious schools: NOVA, Christendom, Ave Maria, Radford, Steubenville, Longwood, and The University of Dallas.
