About WES

Over the last 20 years, Washington Episcopal School has become known among high school admission counselors, education consultants and, of course, our alumni and their parents, as small but mighty - a right-sized powerhouse.

Located in Bethesda, Maryland, the school draws families from all over Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, as well as Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Virginia and Washington, D.C. They come to WES for a refreshing combination of academic structure and innovation. Our strategic curriculum prepares students to be standouts without burning out. Studio and performing arts, hands-on learning, and travel experiences are integrated into a curriculum designed to prepare students for any high school they may choose. At WES you will find small classes and the tailored teaching of an exceptional faculty. You will find Episcopal values of understanding, tolerance, and respect for others and a clear moral compass - a compass all graduates take with them as they navigate the world and their lives.
