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.

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+.

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

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.

I graduated from The Field School in 1978 and it changed my life. I had been diagnosed with…read moreDyslexia (later ADD) in the 4th grade and after trying several schools I just excelled at The Field School way beyond the others. I was there only 10, 11 and 12 grades but I accomplished more in those 3 years than in any other schools. My parents told me that when I met Elizabeth Ely (the founder) that we went into her office to talk. I came out of the office and told my parents that "Miss Ely and I have discussed it and I will be coming here". I don't remember the conversation but I know it was her making sure the Field School was the right fit for she cared about every student. The teachers were outstanding. I later learned the Elizabeth knew she could pay the teacher what she wanted so she sought out the smartest people with the greatest passion to teach that she could find. They would often be only their for a few years and she knew it. Like my science teacher that came to work there for a few years while he worked to get into Med school. Many stayed much longer of course. She got them at their prime with a passion to inspire young people and was a master at doing so. Nothing describes how great Field School was for me than to share some of my accomplishments. When I found out that they did not have a yearbook and I had loved being on the yearbook staff in other schools I talked to Elizabeth about it. She challenged me about it and asked what "I" was going to do about it and I went to work getting a team together along with a teacher sponsor to help us. Two of the sharpest girls in my class agreed to help. I still have pictures of the yearbook and layout I will try to post them. Years later I stopped by to visit the school just after the school had closed for the day. There was a student waiting for their ride home and I introduced myself, asking what was new at the school. They told me that the yearbook had just won some type of big award. I asked to know more and he told me the story of how one of the students had started it years ago and you can see some of the collages masters framed on the wall in the school today. That was me and the yearbook team they were talking about! I even remembered working on the collages with the team year ago. I always had an interest in Science but my science teacher inspired me to new levels at The Field School and help me get a NSA scholarship to Ball State University in Holography, electronics, and other areas of physics for high school students. I returned from that event and spent the rest of the summer writing a 110 page book on how to make Holograms. Other students before me had created a Holographic table and made some holograms at the school as a project. I again went to Elizabeth with the book and the idea of her letting me teach a class to my peers on making Holograms. She saw the book and challenged me to write up the course outline. One the teachers help me put it together and I taught the class in Holography at the school. I also got to excel in photography with the school darkroom and a gifted photographer named Olga that used a leica M2 camera. I remember her challenging me to see new things in the photography class. A hobbie I still enjoy today. I was not as good at sports so Elizabeth let me take weight training and I started the 1st weight training class with a local veteran that loved teaching kids. This is not just my unique story but a example of thousands of student that were inspired at The Field School. I love going home to DC and hearing people talking about the great Field School. I am now 55, still deal with my Dyslexia and ADD and have written three books that you can find on Amazon. I also have clearly made real difference in my community. Thanks to The Field School and the dear late Elizabeth Ely, that I know is still watch over all of us. Thanks for lighting the fire to my life.
