Welcome to our website! St. John Regional Catholic School in Frederick, Maryland, an Archdiocese of Baltimore school, has been serving the Catholic community for 180 years. It is a school that is rich in history and traditions. St. John is accredited by the Southern States Association of Colleges and Schools and currently serves eight Frederick County parishes and the Catholic community of Fort Detrick. We have approximately 600 students in grades Pre-K – 8 who come to us not only from our regional parishes, but from Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
 
One of the oldest schools in continuous operation on the eastern seaboard, St. John traces its roots to Father John McElroy, a Jesuit who laid the initial cornerstone. The school was originally located in the historic district of downtown Frederick on East Second Street. But in the summer of 2005, the dream of a new, more modern building for our school came true. We have moved to our new location on Opossumtown Pike. We share the twenty-seven acre site with St. Katharine Drexel parish. The parish will eventually build a new church on the same grounds.
 
Our new facility has provided us with the ability to offer three classes at each grade level as needed. The new building provides us a state-of-the-art media center, a science lab, a computer lab, art room with a kiln, a music room, and a modern gymnasium.
