Why a girl’s boarding school?

For 100 years, St. Margaret’s School has educated young women of purpose. The rich experiences in classrooms, studios, stages, fields and our river are formidable and meaningful. Our alumnae are not only leaders in their fields; they are fulfilled in doing what they love to do. They know themselves, and that is what secondary education is all about. Their success in college and beyond is an achievement of a remarkable all-girls Episcopal boarding and day school.

The St. Margaret’s experience is a multifaceted approach that addresses a girl’s unique developmental needs as we foster a supportive learning environment. The classroom atmosphere is grounded in respect, inclusivity, and collaboration - we believe this is paramount. Through differentiated instruction techniques, our faculty, led by our Wheat Center for Innovative Learning can accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring that all girls have opportunities to thrive. We know that building confidence is key, as it empowers girls to embrace their strengths and engage in learning with enthusiasm. Encouraging critical thinking skills and meaningful discussions allows girls to explore complex ideas and perspectives, fostering intellectual growth. By offering meaningful student leadership opportunities, students emerge as role models, as they engage in real-world relevance in their experiences. We seek to inspire girls to pursue their goals with confidence and resilience, preparing them for success in academics and beyond.

Live and learn on the banks of Virginia’s Rappahannock River and in our historic buildings.  You will find St. Margaret's an exceptional step in your education that will last a lifetime.
