Beauvoir School, Primary school at Washington National Cathedral grounds, United States
Beauvoir School is a primary school on the Washington National Cathedral grounds that serves students from pre-kindergarten through third grade. The faculty includes specialized teachers for Spanish, art, music, science, and physical education.
The Cathedral Chapter founded the school in 1933 to prepare boys for St. Albans School and girls for National Cathedral School. These original purposes guided the school's educational mission for many years.
The school brings together students from different backgrounds who learn and grow side by side. This diversity shapes daily interactions across the campus.
Teachers work in small groups with students, keeping class sizes low to support individual learning and development of critical thinking skills. This approach helps each child progress at their own pace.
The grounds feature a specially designed playground for children under 10 years old with equipment suited to different ages and physical abilities. This area reflects thoughtful planning for each developmental stage.
