          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.

        • Infants & Toddlers

          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.
