Organizational Background
From the top of Mount St. Alban, St. Albans School looks up to the Washington National Cathedral and out to the United States Capitol. Our location serves as an embodiment and constant reminder of the School’s motto: Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria, for Church and for Country. The School was established in 1909 by the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation (PECF). Our mission is to prepare boys in grades 4 through 12 to develop and use their spiritual, intellectual, artistic, and physical gifts not for themselves alone, but in service of the greater community. As an Episcopal school, we welcome and embrace boys of all faiths and backgrounds to this caring community that learns, prays, plays, sings, and eats together. We are committed to a diversity among students, faculty, and staff that shapes and enriches our shared experiences.
St. Albans collaborates closely with other institutions under the PECF’s umbrella: the Cathedral, the National Cathedral School (all-girls, grades 4 - 12), and Beauvoir (co-ed elementary school, pre-K through grade 3). St. Albans partners particularly closely with the National Cathedral School through coordinate academic, athletic, and arts programs.
