🏫 National Park Seminary

National Park Seminary, later renamed National Park College, was an elite, private, nonsectarian women’s boarding and finishing school that operated from 1894 until 1942 in Forest Glen Park, Maryland. Its name alludes to nearby Rock Creek Park. The school was renowned for its highly eclectic, international architecture and rigorous lifestyle preparation. In the early 21st century the historic campus is being preserved as the center of a new housing development.
