Steubenville Female Seminary, also known as Beatty's Seminary for Young Ladies or Steubenville Seminary,[1] was a female seminary in Steubenville, Ohio. It was founded by Presbyterian minister Charles Clinton Beatty in 1829.[2] Beatty served as Superintendent and his wife, Hetty Elizabeth Beatty, served as principal.[3] The school had 7 students during the first year.[3] The campus in Steubenville, Ohio gave a view of the surrounding hills.[3]

In 1856, control went to Dr. and Mrs. A.M. Reid.[3] In 1863, they were succeeded by Dr. and Mrs. J.W. Wightman.[3]

At its peak, the school educated 150 students at a time.[3] The faculty was usually between 10 to 12 teachers.[3] Many of the students became missionaries.[3]

It closed in 1898.[2] Over the life of the institution, the school educated 5,000 women.[2]
