Founded in 1939, Congressional is a co-ed, independent, day school on a beautiful 40-acre campus in the heart of Falls Church, Virginia. Dedicated to young learners, infants through 8th graders, Congressional School serves more than 480 students and over 1,500 campers each year.
Choosing the best school for your child and family is a journey of discovery. Much like a good education, it’s a process of exploration and questioning that leads to a deeper understanding. To truly understand our school, we encourage you to take a tour or attend an open house to see our school in action.
A congressional education is broad and deep, and is centered on the children. We don’t teach to tests, we teach for the long term by encouraging students to dig deep and apply what they learn. Curious youngsters make for enthusiastic explorers. Where exploration is encouraged, discoveries happen.
The Congressional campus is filled with activity well beyond the school day. Students love their school and consider it a second home. It is a place for learning and growth, for recreation and sports, for nurturing friendships and gaining positive experiences that will last a lifetime.
Congressional School is renowned for its vibrant community and family-like atmosphere, and parent involvement is a vital component. There are many ways for parents, students, and alumni to engage, form lasting friendships, and stay involved long after 8th grade.
More than childcare, Congressional’s infant & toddler program is designed to spark your child’s initial excitement for learning. Your children will be safe, happy, and loved from the minute they enter the classroom. Through play-based learning, we will work on language development, fine and gross motor skills, self-awareness, building relationships, exploration, potty training, and preparing them for preschool.
The generosity of alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of Congressional enables us to continue offering the highest-quality experience to the most qualified students. It helps advance the essential components that make our school extraordinary—our students, our teachers, and our mission.
