We Are St. Albans
Wisdom, Community, Joy. These ideals define St. Albans, where boys and their teachers cultivate lives of purpose, committed to integrity of character and service to others.
In the classroom and on the playing fields, St. Albans boys take pride in working hard – knowing they have the support of their classmates and the compassion and encouragement of their teachers. Laughing over lunch, singing in chapel, and catching up before class, students and teachers are constantly building a community where boys thrive.
Jacket, ties, and bright colorful sneakers. Boys laugh as they run from building to building. Spikeball is played on the roof while Government Club members discuss the current issues of the world. St. Albans is a place where boys discover who they are and thrive as themselves.
Visitors often are shocked: “The boys actually sing?” Chapel services, which often feature a student speaker, are places both for boys to reflect and share with their classmates.
From the first day of school to the last, the coordinate program with the National Cathedral School brings co-education to the arts, athletics, and dozens of classes.
Hallways and Stairwells Free of Backpacks; Sam’s Bar, Outside, Refectory for Food; Top Button and Tie. Our faculty proudly bring joyful energy to school rules — creating a few goofy acronyms along the way.

St. Albans by the Numbers
It’s impossible to define St. Albans by a few statistics, but we think these numbers are helpful for getting to know us. Come visit campus to measure the spirit of our community for yourself.

“During the school day, you’ll find me either studying in the classroom or library, or meeting with a teacher after class. If my work is done for the day, I'll pass the time hanging out with friends and grabbing a snack at Sam’s Bar.”
“There is far more to the St. Albans community - the deep care your classmates have for you, the ‘teacher-coach’ model where your math teacher is running alongside you on the track, the moments of your classmate delivering a homily in the Little Sanctuary, and unexpected friendships from lunch in the Refectory.”
“The privilege of teaching at an all boys school is to be a stepping stone for them as they learn, cultivate, and expand on their own thinking, their own sense of agency, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and the world with greater empathy, care, and compassion.”
“I was first drawn toward St. Albans as a student, as I knew it inspired students and athletes to push themselves to the fullest extent. What I didn't know was that as much as it is an intense place academically and athletically, it is also intensely caring. I felt that as a student, and I continue to experience that as a teacher and coach.”
Located in Washington D.C., St. Albans School is a private, all boys day and boarding school. For more than a century, St. Albans has offered a distinctive educational experience for young men in grades 4 through 12. While our students reach exceptional academic goals and exhibit first-rate athletic and artistic achievements, as an Episcopal school we place equal emphasis upon moral and spiritual education.
