Thank you for visiting Seneca Academy online. We welcome prospective students, parents, teachers, and others to explore our programs, philosophy, and goals!
We hope our website gives you a sense of our dynamic learning opportunities, beautiful building and campus, and energetic students. This year we have approximately 150 students in preschool through fifth grade. They represent the diverse population of our area and live in the surrounding communities of Clarksburg, Boyds, Poolesville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, North Potomac, Bethesda, and Rockville, as well as Darnestown.
You are welcome to schedule a tour at your convenience! When you visit our campus, you will see how engaged our students are on a daily basis in their learning activities and the strong positive sense of friendly community that permeates our environment. Children and adults work together on projects and activities that allow students to explore, create, and question concepts while giving them a strong foundation of basic knowledge. There is evidence of transdisciplinary learning on our walls, tables, and bulletin boards as you observe our writing, drawings, and projects. You can observe the products of our extension curricula by the variety of artwork displayed, the creative team-building games being played in P.E., and our students speaking Spanish and making music. During your visit we will show you our National Wildlife Federation Certified Schoolyard Habitat: 6 ½ acres of outdoor classroom. Throughout our school you will see considerate, thoughtful children meeting behavioral expectations because they are explicitly taught how to follow directions, interact socially, and become independent.
Our faculty/staff is an amazing group of engaged, energetic, and dedicated people focused on best practices in education. They are the backbone of the school and are incredibly well-educated and experienced. Most importantly they are role models of lifelong learners, as they continually expand their knowledge.
Seneca Academy has been called the “hidden gem of Montgomery County.” Please contact us for more information, and welcome to the village!
