At The Potomac School, we believe that intellectual development, love of learning, and strength of character are complementary and equally essential educational goals. With a firm commitment to our core values and a rigorous academic program, we prepare students to lead lives of purpose, achievement, and generosity of spirit.

• empower our students to become independent thinkers and learners by emphasizing the rewards of inquiry, initiative, and reflection
• emphasize appreciation for the natural world and each person’s responsibility for environmental stewardship
• call upon all members of our community to act with compassion, civic conscience, and a commitment to serving others
