Wary of broad knowledge without high purpose, the School seeks to convey to students the spirit, discipline and moral compass that will render them useful citizens, ready to discharge their duties to conscience, country and family. While preparing its graduates for college and university, the School’s chief aim is to equip each one for the real business of living and to challenge them to serve the world through their character and leadership.
For the accomplishment of these ends, The School seeks young women and men of good character who are eager to learn and willing to work. The School seeks parents who are partners in the School’s task. The School seeks instructors who are lifelong learners, called and gifted to teach—and prepared to match precept with example. The School seeks the support of any and all who believe in the power of ideas and the infinite promise of youth.
Established on the principle that “the education that is best for the best is the education that is best for all,” The Washington Latin School is an intentionally diverse society where the most promising students—without regard to ethnicity or economic circumstance—can secure the singular gift of a classical education.
