The Howard Gardner School is an intentionally small, independent, experiential school serving grades 6-12 on two campuses (Alexandria and Fairfax-Loudoun). Our mission is to help bright, creative, non-traditional learners use their unique strengths to thrive academically, intellectually and emotionally.

With a proven record of success, our students collaborate in their education and pursue hands-on, university prep academics, service learning, professional internships and field studies in an effort to contribute to and learn from a diverse school community.

The Howard Gardner School is currently accepting admissions inquiries for the 2023-2024 school year for grades 6-12 on both its Alexandria Campus and its Fairfax-Loudoun Campus.
