About St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School

St. Patrick’s is a co-educational Episcopal parish day school that opened its doors to children 67 years ago, having been created by resolution of the Vestry of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church in 1956. Located in the Palisades section of Northwest Washington, D.C., and beginning with a Nursery School for 6 students in the Church basement, the Day School has blossomed into a Nursery to Grade 8 institution for 475 students on two beautifully appointed academic campuses and a third housing an expansive athletic field and outdoor garden and learning center. As an Episcopal School, St. Patrick’s welcomes community members of all faiths as well as community members who do not practice a faith tradition. Community members are encouraged to stand in their own faith or beliefs and be open to all. In 2017, a 19,000 square foot Middle School was opened for students in Grades 6, 7, and 8. Additionally, the School provides a robust, nurturing, play-based program for infants and toddlers, which is celebrating its 32 nd year. Recently revitalized outdoor play and learning spaces reinforce creative, healthy, and vigorous play and dramatically expand learning opportunities. The award-winn...ing Environmental Sustainability Program, with a commitment to outdoor education and stewardship of our planet, has evolved into one of the pillars of the student experience at St. Patrick’s. Tremendous care and thoughtfulness devoted to child-centered academic programming and teaching space design, coupled with a strong sense of joy and belonging, are the hallmarks of this school. The long- tenured faculty and staff devote themselves to providing excellence in education within the Episcopal tradition, while celebrating the whole child, helping to guide their students toward self- discovery, cultivation of their strengths, growth of personal integrity, and development into their best selves. Mission St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School strives to create a diverse and inclusive learning community of students, faculty and staff, and parents who recognize the infinite value of every individual as a child of God. The school is committed to developing character, advancing human understanding, and promoting academic excellence to shape engaged citizens who live with integrity, empathy, and purpose.
