Welcome
Welcome to the St. Patrick’s Foxhall Project website. Sharing Our Plans. Sharing Our Future.

We thank you for taking time to learn more about our plans for the future of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School.  We believe it is essential to share our exciting work and plans for the 17.3-acre Casey Mansion Foundation property at 1801 Foxhall Road, NW.

Introduction
Across the summer of 2005, the Friends of St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School, LLC, a private entity made up of a group of Day School parents who purchased the 1801 Foxhall property, donated approximately eight acres of the land to St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church and Day School for possible school expansion. Even before the donation was made, the Friends of St. Patrick's - working closely with the Day School administration and a team of consultants - invested a great deal of time and resources into carefully crafted plans for the site.
1801 Foxhall Development Site Plan
As currently conceived, the plan for expansion includes buildings for a middle school and a high school, a gymnasium, a theater, a full-size playing field, and underground parking. The plan also leaves approximately eight acres with the Friends of St. Patrick's, which plans to sell the property for single-family residential development, consistent with the existing zoning on the site. A further 1.5 acres will remain undeveloped green space.

Since late spring of 2005, St. Patrick's has been sharing a conceptual plan for a possible middle school and high school on the site with the community and local leaders. These conversations frame the larger purpose of creating the only coeducational Episcopal high school in Washington D.C.  This website continues a commitment to keep the community apprised of our plans.

With a near fifty-year history of offering exceptional nursery and elementary education to Washington-area children, St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School remains, and will remain, committed to promoting the intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual and physical growth of young people.

Our Mission
St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School educates children in Nursery through Grade 8. The active, growing, changing individuals within this diverse learning community—students, teachers, parents—recognize the infinite value of every participant as a child of God. We strive to create an atmosphere of trust and cooperation in which to nourish each child's growth toward personal integrity and a lifetime of service.

St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School
encourages its children to extend their fascination with the world, to gain confidence about their roles in the world, and to understand the world more fully through others
recognizes that all of its children benefit from the high standards of a varied, challenging academic program that expects each child to take increasing responsibility for meeting those standards while also helping each child to discover and to develop his or her own unique gifts
commits itself to the child's spiritual and moral growth within the context of the Judeo-Christian tradition, a commitment evident in an abiding concern for the quality of our shared life in this place and for service to the wider community.
St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School and the parish that brought the school to life fulfill their sense of purpose in the acceptance, the care, and the nurture of God's children. Through our efforts within a Christian community we enable children of all races, creeds, and cultural backgrounds to achieve wholeness in their intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical lives, in the present and well into the future.


Statement of Non-Discrimination
In accordance with applicable laws and in the interest of being an effective, equitable, just, and inclusive community, St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, creed, gender, sexual orientation, family status, economic status, age, or physical disability in the administration of its admission policies, financial aid programs, educational policies and programs, or other School-sponsored programs and activities, or in the hiring and terms of employment of faculty and staff. As an Episcopal parish day school, St. Patrick's gives special consideration in the admission process to active members of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church.
