Overview
Holy Trinity School is a Catholic, co-educational, elementary school (PreK-8) that is committed to the Jesuit traditions of academic excellence, the service of faith and the promotion of justice.
Our community - school and parish families - seeks to develop students who will manifest these traditions in an awareness of self, a love of learning and a desire to serve others. We prepare our students to act with initiative and integrity and to engage the world as a place in which God can found in all things.
Washington International School (WIS) is a coeducational day school offering 900 students a challenging international curriculum and rich language program from Preschool through Grade 12.
Students in Preschool through Grade 5 follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP).
In Grades 6-10 students pursue a course of study designed to build skills in key areas while enhancing their ability to think deeply and solve problems.
In their final two years of high school, all students are enrolled in IB Diploma Program courses.
We equip children with the tools to master rigorous academic challenges in math, science, languages, literature, social sciences, and the arts.
