St. Albans School (STA) is an independent college preparatory day and boarding school for boys in grades 4–12, located in Washington, D.C.[2]:{{{3}}} The school is named after Saint Alban, traditionally regarded as the first British martyr.[3] Within the St. Albans community, the school is commonly referred to as "S-T-A." It enrolls approximately 590 day students in grades 4-12, and 30 additional boarding students in grades 9-12, and 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. St. Albans, along with the affiliated schools and the Washington National Cathedral, are members of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation. It is regarded among the most prestigious secondary schools in the United States.
The school mascot is the bulldog, a symbol adopted under the school’s fourth headmaster, Canon Charles S. Martin, because of Martin’s fondness for his pet bulldogs.[3] The St. Albans motto, "Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria," translates to "For Church and Country.[3]" St. Albans requires all students to attend Chapel twice a week in The Little Sanctuary. The school seeks to develop in its students a sense of moral responsibility through Chapel, its Honor Code, and a co-curricular social service program.
A 2004 article in The Wall Street Journal found that among U.S. schools, St. Albans had the 11th-highest success rate in placing graduates at 10 selective universities.[4] A 2015 article in Business Insider named St. Albans the smartest boarding school in the United States on the basis of average SAT scores.[5]
Approximately 80% of the faculty at the school have advanced degrees.[6] The school also maintains one writer-in-residence, who teaches English classes while developing his or her work. (A past writer-in-residence is Curtis Sittenfeld, who worked on her best-selling novel Prep while at St. Albans).[7]
History
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 LLP, designed the new building, which has been the subject of articles in numerous publications, including The Washington Post, The Architects Newspaper, Building Stone Magazine, Arch Daily, Architecture DC, Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Journal, Construction, School Planning & Management, and American Society of Civil Engineers.[8]
