Bethesda Home for Boys is the oldest child caring institution in the country. In fact, founded in 1740, it's older than the country itself and was a site frequently visited by many of the country's founding fathers. Benjamin Franklin was an early investor and Bethesda was constituted by a grant from King George with the encouragement of Charles and John Wesley. At Bethesda, 90% of our boys graduate and graduate on time. An astounding 75% of high school graduates go on to college, while the remaining 25% choose either technical school or the military. Students who enroll @ Bethesda with academic challenges receive remedial help as they scholastically "catch up". Others are encouraged to achieve at a pace more appropriate for them. But perhaps the best way to learn about Bethesda's School is to schedule a campus visit.
