School Notes Overview:

Washington Episcopal School is a very special community of learners and teachers. While young in years, it has established a strong tradition of nurturing children in a warm but challenging environment. We have an experienced and devoted faculty who seek to bring out the best in every child. Within an educational institution that supports the principles of the Episcopal Church while maintaining independent academic integrity, we propose to offer the best education possible -- predicated on the tenets of traditional theory but continually modified in the light of recent research -- to a heterogeneous student body. We suspect that our students will face challenges we only dream of in a world we barely glimpse. So that they may stride confidently into this world and delight in it as well as contribute to it, we want them to learn more than facts and processes. We want them to stretch the boundaries of their awareness, strengthen their self-esteem, develop their gifts and talents, and bolster their weaknesses. We want them to appreciate their own resources and respect those of others, to enjoy the company of friends but also to savor the balm of solitude. ...read more
