Sheridan School vs. Lowell School

At Sheridan, learning is empowerment.  A vibrant K-8 progressive school with no more than 230 students, we intentionally develop in students an authentic desire to learn, to frame questions, to seek answers, to lead, to explore, and to create. This culture of intellectual and creative energy provides students with opportunities to find and build their voice, their passions, and their talents at an early age.

Our balanced approach to education in the elementary and middle school years sets our students on the path for finding joy in lifelong learning.

Challenge at Sheridan is not limited to the classroom.

Our 130-acre Mountain Campus provides students with an opportunity to move outside the comfort of their regular surroundings and experience new levels of challenge in nature - a perspective that plays a vital role in developing confidence and character.

Based in NW Washington DC, Lowell School is an intentionally-designed, diverse educational community that embraces individuality, curiosity, and courage.

Lowell students thrive because we are committed to progressive pedagogy, where our multidisciplinary academic program and our social-emotional curriculum are inextricably linked. Guided by our innovative, expert, and thoughtful educators, our children become confident, resilient, and highly-motivated learners who can fully engage in an abundance of rich, integrated, and multifaceted learning experiences. Lowell empowers children to use their voices and strengths in pursuit of a more just world.

Our graduates are uniquely prepared to navigate challenges, embrace opportunities that lie ahead, and affect positive change in our communities.
