Overview
Holy Trinity School is a Catholic, co-educational, elementary school (PreK-8) that is committed to the Jesuit traditions of academic excellence, the service of faith and the promotion of justice.
Our community - school and parish families - seeks to develop students who will manifest these traditions in an awareness of self, a love of learning and a desire to serve others. We prepare our students to act with initiative and integrity and to engage the world as a place in which God can found in all things.
Sidwell Friends School is a PK12, co-educational Quaker day school founded in 1883.
Individually and collectively, we challenge ourselves to pursue excellence in academic, athletic, and artistic realms.
We are committed to the joys of exploration and discovery. Differences among us enhance intellectual inquiry, expand understanding, and deepen empathy.
The Quaker pillars of the School inspire active engagement in environmental stewardship, global citizenship, and service.
We find strength in reflection and shared silence. At the heart of each endeavor, we strive to discern deeper truths about ourselves and our common humanity, preparing students and adults to "let their lives speak.".
