St. Margaret's helps girls thrive in every aspect of their lives—academically, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Our beautiful, safe campus on the banks of the Rappahannock River is home to 120 girls who are part of a welcoming, inclusive community. We offer boarding and day programs for girls from across the country and around the world. Strong girls make strong choices and every aspect of our program is designed to support their development. With a diverse community, solid college-preparatory program, and a wide variety of interscholastic sports, clubs and after school activities, students learn to try new things, push themselves, and in the process, form lifelong bonds with their classmates. We offer three levels of English as a Second Langauge (ESL) and focus on the learning needs of the individual girl, offering Honors and AP courses, online courses for advanced learners, and dual enrollment for college credit. Our leadership program inspires girls to step up and our students have a voice in student government and school life. Our honor code, and tight-knit campus community also equip students with the moral and social foundation to approach today's world with a sense of grace, honor, and purpose. St. Margaret's offers students of character and ability the opportunity to discover the power of possibility and shine.

If you would like to open up a world of possibilities, contact our Admission Office. Our Admission Team will be happy to discuss the benefits of a St. Margaret's education and answer any questions.
