Mother Seton Regional High School offers a four-year college preparatory curriculum. 100% of Mother Seton graduates go on to higher education. In addition, the academic program at Mother Seton provides emphasis on math and science, areas where women have traditionally been under-represented. In several national studies, it has been found that graduates of girls' schools are four times more likely to pursue careers in math, science and engineering than are female graduates of co-educational schools. Programs like the one at Mother Seton certainly contribute to that statistic. The school also offers honors programs
