Tours and Open Houses

The warm, caring nature of Seneca Academy teachers; bright, inviting atmosphere of our classrooms; and serene, attractive nature of our outdoor spaces are best experienced firsthand. We therefore invite prospective families as well as other interested community members to visit our campus. We have a variety of scheduled tours and open houses throughout the year, but are eager to accommodate. Please call our admissions director, Priscella Celentano, at (301) 869-3728 or complete the contact form to find the best time to join us!
