Founded with a generous bequest, St. Albans School stands as a testament to the vision of Harriet Lane Johnston. She left $300,000 in 1909, a sum equivalent to over $7 million today, to establish this institution. St. Albans School was originally intended as a school for boy choristers of the Washington National Cathedral. That tradition continues to this day. Located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral, St. Albans School shares this hallowed space with the National Cathedral School and Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School. All three schools are connected through the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation. St. Albans School educates boys from grades 4 through 12. The school serves nearly 600 day students and a smaller group of 30 boarding students in grades 9-12. St. Albans School is known for its rigorous college preparatory program. The school’s motto, “Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria,” meaning “For Church and For State,” reflects its commitment to both faith and civic duty. In 2010, St. Albans School unveiled Marriott Hall, its state-of-the-art Upper School building. Designed by the renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the building garnered significant media attention upon its completion. St. Albans School boasts an impressive roster of alumni who have made significant contributions in various fields. From politics and journalism to arts and athletics, St. Albans graduates have left their mark on the world.
