There is a strong sense of community and a high level of parental involvement. I encourage you to look into the school and talk to parents with current, first-hand knowledge of the school.

I have 2 students that have been there 3 years and every day I know that my kids are in a great school and a nurturing environment. The parents are also very engaged in activities so there is a real sense of community among the students and parents. The location is also great since I can jump on the Metro after dropping them off and everything I need for food, grocery and shopping are within 5 minutes of the school. I highly recommend the school!

That means on weekends and during school breaks. (Check their website for their break schedule. For example, Winter Break 2021 ran from December 18th through January 2nd.) A few neighbors report it's open during the week in the evening. 2) Space: It's one large, tiered open area completely fenced in. There's a large turf area perfect for running around or soccer. There are different levels with plenty of areas to sit for parents. 3) Equipment: The most popular items are the zip line, a two-level fast slide and a rope tunnel course. They also have swings, lots of climbing equipment, a wooden bear, gargoyles art, a bear cave, two sand pits and so much more. My four-year-old daughter spends hours here without ever getting bored. 4) Parking: There's a small parking lot at the school. If it's full, easy street parking nearby can be found. One thing I didn't see while there are bathrooms. If you really need to go, walk north along nearby Wisconsin Avenue to local restaurants.

My son (in middle school) applied to only two high schools, St Albans and TJ (Thomas Jefferson…read moreSchool for Science and Tech. (Fairfax Co. public)). Accepted by both, the choice was obvious. He loves STA (although all in his class received "5's" on state Calculus AP exams, his instructor thought not good enough, awarding only "B's"and "C's to to these "underachievers all"). Although not permitted to identify same, he/she is not atypical of the group entrusted my son, they expecting, regardless of product presented, more. Dispirited at first, upon reflection it to me is becoming apparent that Saint Albans (a private ( non-public) secondary education provider) is without peer in the "mid-atlantic region" (whatever that means) for a young man's education (look at NCS if you are of a different persuasion (#2, but nearly equal in quality)). Not to discredit Georgertown Prep, St. Anselm's, TJ, Sidwell or Landon, but when your child verbally rebels, but cannot intelligently articulate his/her rationale therefor, then he (or she at NCS) is not a Saint Albans product, from which the kid returns home with an "A" and complains (unlike those otherwised schooled) " Yes, it's an A, but I could have done better". Only at STA. Good, Better, Best, BESTED. St. Albans=Excellence+.

From the owner: St. Albans School is an independent college preparatory school for boys in grades 4-12, located in…read moreWashington, D.C. The school is named after Saint Alban, traditionally regarded as the first British martyr. Within the St. Albans community, the school is commonly referred to as "S-T-A." It enrolls approximately 575 boys from grades 4 through 12 and is located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral on Mount St. Alban in Washington. The school was founded in 1909 by Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of President James Buchanan, as a school for boy choristers to the Washington National Cathedral, a program that the school continues today. The St. Albans motto, "Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria," translates to "For Church and Country." Check out St. Albans on Facebook and Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/stalbansschool @StAlbans_STA

Dinner was served outside on a terrace, but I'm not sure what the name of the building was. Dancing was inside in a wooden hall with a fireplace and a portrait of an academic who I do not recognize, but I am sure the WIS students could help me out. The catering staff was awesome. If you're getting married in the District and you have less than 100 people attending, I would check this place out!

"Global" and "diverse" thanks mainly to a rotating population of expatriates. The diversity is geographic, not racial. Poor administration - problem students are not addressed and remain in the school. Families' (and students') concerns are treated according to affluence and influence. Cliquish environment, although the school writes and aims to sell a sense of community, which all false/fake. There are much better schools out there for that kind of money. You just have to get past the smoke and mirrors and then be able to get your students to switch. "WIS lifer" no more; every year for the past 11 years, things have gotten worse.

My daughter came from a Montessori program which was very self-guided, and the transition to Maret - which naturally has more structure - has been really well received by her. The school's pedagogy preserves the importance of agency in its students, something that will be critical for Generation Alpha kids with access to LLMs that can do anything for them. My sense from conversations with the high schoolers is that self-worth (not self-flagellation) is prioritized as students enter the rat race for college; excellence is expected, but it's not designed to be an unhealthy pressure cooker.

From Day 1, the faculty and other students made her feel at home and a part of the community. Many schools encourage students to bring their "whole selves" into the school but Field really means it. The community is tight-knit and there is so much JOY at the school. The art and theater are incredible and the sports have been a great experience for my daughter, with the older girls on the team guiding & supporting the younger girls. The academics have also blown me away. The teachers are engaging, supportive, and fun. And they go deep into their subjects. The faculty not only has a great sense of the students' academic lives, but of their social-emotional lives, as well, and they work hard to make sure the students are thriving in ALL areas of life. We feel so grateful to have found Field! It is truly a special place.
