Sheridan School vs. Washington International 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.

Washington International School (WIS) is a coeducational day school offering 900 students a challenging international curriculum and rich language program from Preschool through Grade 12.

Students in Preschool through Grade 5 follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP).

In Grades 6-10 students pursue a course of study designed to build skills in key areas while enhancing their ability to think deeply and solve problems.

In their final two years of high school, all students are enrolled in IB Diploma Program courses.

We equip children with the tools to master rigorous academic challenges in math, science, languages, literature, social sciences, and the arts.

An active sports schedule, programs in the arts, participation in clubs, community service in Washington, DC and around the world, and travel programs-for study and for fun-help create well-rounded students who are also engaged global citizens.
