The Admission Team at St. Patrick’s is eager to meet your family and begin introducing you to the wonderful program that we offer for students from Nursery School through Grade 8. We recognize that the process of applying to an independent school can be daunting, but we hope that our availability and willingness to assist you along the way will diminish that sense of trepidation and enable you to focus on what is best for your child and your family. We look forward to showing you our school, and we invite you to linger in our classroom spaces and see the kind of engagement our students have with their learning, with one another, and with their teachers.
St. Patrick’s, an independent, coeducational, Episcopal parish day school, has grown and changed significantly across the last fifty years. We have expanded to Grade 8 and opened the doors of a sparkling new campus nearby on MacArthur Boulevard for our Grades 7 and 8 students. We have transformed our main Whitehaven Campus, home to our nursery and elementary programs, with new classrooms, two new libraries, and a gymnasium. Yet with all of this change, the core of the institution has remained constant. St. Patrick’s continues its half-century tradition of providing a vibrant, challenging, coeducational school environment within the District of Columbia for young people to grow as healthy intellectual, social and emotional, and moral and spiritual beings.

Please call our Admission Office to ask any questions about the process of applying to St. Patrick’s and to schedule a tour of this exciting place. If you are applying your three- or four-year-old to St. Patrick’s, we will arrange a time for you to participate in a group tour of our school. If you are applying to Kindergarten or above, we will schedule a parent tour and interview for you, so that we can learn more about your child through your eyes, with your child to visit later. We look forward to meeting you and working with your family!
