Potomac Classical Conservatory

As we pause this weekend to observe Memorial Day, we are reminded that the freedoms we enjoy, including the freedom to gather, to learn, and to build a community like ours at Potomac Classical, came at a profound cost. This weekend asks us to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

This is a moment to be deeply grateful, and to teach our children the meaning of duty, honor, and devotion to something greater than oneself. These are virtues that lie at the heart of a classical education, and they are best understood not in the abstract, but through the lives of real people who embodied them.

Thank you.

Seven hours of being in school together wasn’t enough! 1st grade —> 9th grade ladies choose to proactively continue their time together on the playground long after school dismissal.

We protect and encourage our students’ affections for high-quality friendships by enforcing a 100% tech-free campus 24/7. Not just in the classrooms. Not just during school hours. But just for little kids. No students (ours or otherwise), no childcare providers, no older siblings (and no peer pressure or FOMO) are welcomed or permitted on campus with smart-anything technology.

We promise that it’s not only possible but it’s a priority. ❤️

Jeffrey the Bearded Dragon paid a visit to the Lower School to hear more about their Reptiles & Amphibians unit in Biology to the delight of *almost* everyone ;) 🦎

April showers! ☔️❤️

After a day of fierce competition, performances, and school spirit, we want to celebrate House Fidelis for winning House Olympics competition last week 💙

This year’s House Olympics was run by our House Master Brittany Montgomery and featured an incredible lineup of events spanning athletics and team-building activities.

Special recognition goes to every volunteer who assisted in ensuring sportsmanship and enthusiasm for each station along the way. Every House should feel proud of what they brought to the games!

Congratulations to House Fidelis on a well-deserved victory! 🏆🙌🏻

Challenge accepted, Miss Mason! She knew exactly what she was talking about. Our kindergartners recently planted kidney beans as part of their Botany Unit and they actively checked on them daily as they sprouted! There is something truly wonderful about a child who is waiting and watching for something to grow. And who doesn’t love Mrs. Talone!? ❤️

Shhhhhhhh 🤫 Our Upper School is sitting for the CLT7, CLT8, and CLT10 today! 📝📊❤️

After last year’s tadpole fiasco, we are overjoyed to see legs sprouting! 🐸😮‍💨🙌🏻 Prayers answered!
