At Severn, every student is known and valued, not just for who they are, but for who they aspire to be. Therefore, every experience at Severn is thoughtfully designed to help students define their personal values, discover their "why", build their personal leadership skills, and prepare for success in the next grade, through to college and beyond.
Community is at the heart of the Severn experience. The result is an active student body eager to challenge themselves, explore new ideas, and use their voices as they begin to understand the impact they can have on the world around them.
But don’t just take our word for it. Come see for yourself the many ways there are to be an Admiral and decide if Severn is right for you.

When Agnes stumbles upon Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge.Prospective students and parents are invited to attend this final dress rehearsal – where anything can, and often does, go wrong – and then stay to talk with the cast and crew at the end.
