Kind. Confident. Prepared.

Washington Episcopal School (WES) is a co-educational, independent school in Bethesda, Maryland, that helps students aged 3 through Grade 8 become kind, confident, and prepared global citizens who are ready to make contributions to their communities.

Our curriculum challenges students to embrace academic rigor in an appropriately balanced and supportive environment.

We are a diverse, inclusive community that respects individual differences, develops every child’s unique talents, and fosters learning inside and outside the classroom.

Here, children stand out without burning out.

Learn More About WES

Enrolling in a school is a big decision, and we want our prospective families to get a very good sense of who WES is and what we offer.

Our private tours are tailored to meet each family’s interests. Through your private tour, you will be able to:

  • See the classrooms and learn about the program and curriculum highlights that are of greatest interest
  • Can ask detailed questions, focused specifically on their child’s and family’s needs

Once we receive your information, we will send you our viewbook and other important program and curriculum materials.

 

 

It was a Saturday and my daughter in sixth-grade, who started at WES this year, remarked, 'I wish it was Monday, so I could go to school!' That's how much she loves being at WES.

— Brian Cooper WES Parent

WES truly prepared me for the challenges of high school. Whether it was in algebra or labs in biology and chemistry, the WES curriculum helped me to excel in Honors and AP classes. Extracurricular clubs and activities at WES were great examples of the many new choices I discovered at high school. Even though my high school is much bigger in comparison, I was able to adapt and succeed.

— Aidan Class of 2016

Although WES does not label itself an international school, it truly is. Nearly half the students in my son’s class are bilingual and the daily curriculum incorporates a global perspective.

— Andrea Stumpf WES Parent
