The school enrolls approximately 590 day students in grades 4–12, and 30 additional boarding students in grades 9–12. It is affiliated with the National Cathedral School and the co-ed Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School, all of which are located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. All the affiliated schools named are members of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation.
The school was founded in 1909, with $300,000 ($7.2 million in 2015 dollars) in funding bequeathed by Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of President James Buchanan.[3] Initially, it was a school for boy choristers to the Washington National Cathedral, a program that the school continues today.[3]
The school opened its new Upper School building, Marriott Hall, in 2009–2010. The firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill designed the building, which received considerable media attention.[4]
