Faith
Since 1828, the institution has empowered youth with the ability to overcome obstacles in the face of hopelessness. What was true in Venerable Lange’s time is still true today as Saint Frances Academy offers a Catholic-education via a traditional co-educational, college-preparatory curriculum. The school currently serves students in grades nine through twelve. An honors program is available to select students and all students complete a community service component.
Independently owned and operated by the Roman Catholic religious order of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, Saint Frances Academy is approved by the Maryland State Department of Education and is accredited by the Commission on Secondary Schools of the regional agency of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
