Washington International School students thrive in a lively mixture of culture, traditions, and ideas. As succinctly stated by a young student, “Our differences are what we have in common.”
While the composition of the community is unique in comparison with other local independent schools, student life comprises the familiar extras parents and children expect to find in a school environment.
Students are encouraged to explore their interests during classes as well as through various extracurricular activities.
Given the available opportunities, students tend to be “all-rounders” — athletes who read Cervantes in the original language, actors who have leadership roles in student government, musicians who choose to take two sciences.
