Overview
Established in 1933, Our Lady Star of the Sea School is a member of the Archdiocese of Washington and is a fully accredited, private Catholic school for PK-8th grade.
Located on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay in Solomons, we are a unique, family-oriented school where staff, students, and families form a supportive community.
We believe that through a solid Catholic education, which incorporates instruction, discipline, responsibility, respect, and Christian example, our students will have a strong foundation on which to build their lives.
The Calverton School is a top-notch academic, art, athletic, and service community where values and respect are reinforced.
The school offers a challenging college-preparatory program in an environment that encourages honesty, tolerance, respect, and responsibility.
Small class size and low student/teacher ratios support a student-centered curriculum and individualized attention.
Students are prepared not only for college, but to be lifelong learners, responsible members of the community, stewards of the environment, and informed citizens of the world.
