Meeting Every Child
Exactly Where They Are

The Washington Jesuit Academy fosters a culture of community and care among our students because we are just the right size. We remain nimble so we can meet our students where they are and address their specific sets of strengths, gaps, and obstacles. Our small class sizes and signature extended-day and -year schedule allows us to go deep enough into our student’s lives to have a real impact even after they graduate. WJA is small enough so every teacher can be a real role model and change-maker in each student’s life.

We reinforce these connections outside of the classroom with a long list of programs, activities, services, and supports that help us meet students’ diverse and ever evolving needs. Our students participate in a number of clubs and activities that meet their individual interests and curiosities. We remain committed to physical education and athletics as an important way of promoting the success of our students. Additionally, we promote the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional growth of each student by stepping away from life’s regular activities with a retreat each semester.
