Student Life
Our School is the sum of many parts—its classrooms, its libraries, its playing fields and studios. As a premier private school in Washington DC, Holton-Arms offers a dynamic blend of rigorous academics, exceptional arts, competitive athletics, and meaningful community service. As a girls private school dedicated to empowering young women, we foster leadership, creativity, and confidence in every aspect of student life—from Convocation to Commencement. But most of all, Holton is a reflection of its people—students, teachers, coaches, staff, families, and alumnae—who live the mission every single day. Together, these parts create a powerful, purpose-driven community where girls thrive.
