“At Congressional School, children aren’t just students; they are at the very heart of everything we do.”
Congressional School’s specialty is young learners. The co-ed infant through 8th-grade community provides the perfect setting for children to gain a solid foundation, launching them on a lifetime of adventure and success. Their teachers are experts in the age group they teach, and the school’s facilities and resources are designed specifically for young learners.
Congressional’s diverse student body and faculty represent a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and the school embraces them all. Sharing and celebrating their differences brings them together, while teaching and modeling values like integrity, kindness, respect, perseverance and responsibility further strengthen their sense of unity.
“We are dedicated to preparing young students for a life of leadership and character, intellectual curiosity and service to their communities,” says Dr. Edwin P. Gordon, Head of School. “Congressional is a community defined by academic excellence, creative collaboration and a shared commitment to an inclusive, innovative environment for students and faculty alike.”
For more than 85 years, Congressional has challenged inquisitive young minds through its research-based curricula with a clear and consistent focus on each student’s needs. Offering a personal, diverse learning environment where kids can be kids and parents can be involved, learning is more than test-deep at Congressional. The goal is for students not just to seek answers, but to retain and apply knowledge and to continue adapting and learning. The result is a vibrant learning space dedicated to unlocking the unique potential within every child.
