Lowell School

We are a private school serving 350 students, PK–grade 8, in the midst of the nation’s capital. Small and nimble, we are able to respond to our students’ needs and interests in ways that promote active engagement and inclusivity. We consciously select content and materials to best deliver an educational program that supports democratic values, and we are able to devote the time it takes to dig deeply into social studies, including current events. We are not subject to the same challenges or federal, state, and local policies that public schools are, nor do we have solutions to the very real problems and pressures they face. But, we are doing what we can to ensure that as many students as we can serve will have a strong foundation for being active, informed, and responsible citizens who uphold democratic ideals.
