The Lab School of Washington

Friday's commencement ceremony was a celebration of Lab's newest alums: the Class of 2026. This summer, we will be shining a spotlight on each of these individuals and their plans beyond Lab, so stay tuned!

A special thanks to commencement speaker and former Gala Outstanding Achiever Roy Schwartz as well as the Middle School students who performed their rendition of Green Day's Good Riddance at the ceremony.

Congratulations to the Class of 2030! Today, we held the Closing Ceremony for our eighth graders and their time in the Middle School. We’re so excited for each of them as they close one chapter and prepare for the next!

With all of their classes finished for the year, students in the Upper School and Middle School made trips to GW's Mount Vernon campus for their respective field days!

Rotating between a series of fun games and activities, students celebrated the end of the school year and enjoyed an early taste of summer. First up: tomorrow's recognition ceremonies and commencement on Friday!

Thanks to everyone who helped organize and execute these field days. Everyone had a blast!

Students in our Lower School recently took to the stage for their Spring Performing Arts Performance! In three fairy tale inspired plays, these young performers wowed the audience with their singing and acting. Congratulations to all of the performers for this wonderful show!

– In one week and one day, Lab’s Class of 2026 will walk the stage and become part of a long history of graduates who make us proud! See yourself or a friend in this picture? Remember where the ceremony was held? Leave a comment or send an email to [email protected]. Thanks!

The Class of 2026 kicked off this year with breakfast at the Senior Sunrise event, so it’s only fitting they end it with a Senior Twilight! Yesterday evening, many of the seniors gathered to play games, eat pizza, and spend time together as the year comes to a close.

We are so proud of their hard work this year, and we can’t wait to celebrate them and their time at Lab during the Commencement ceremony next Friday!

Congratulations to Lab's Flag Football team on an incredible inaugural year! The team went undefeated in the regular season and made it all the way to the ISSAC League Championship. Though that game ended with a loss after a heartbreaking final few plays, we are excited for the future of this young team.

Thanks to all of the student fans that traveled in the Dragon Wagon to cheer on the team. One of those fans, Junior Soren O-A, captured these shots from the game!

– As Lab's Class of 2026 prepares for their upcoming trip to Hershey Park, here’s a look back at the Class of 2017’s trip to Busch Gardens!

Academic Clubs at Lab give students the opportunity to explore their interests, strengthen collaboration skills, and build confidence through hands-on learning experiences that go beyond the traditional classroom. Club Day is a chance to celebrate these experiences and share them with families and other students.

This year, Academic Club Day evolved into two complementary events. Last week, Lower School students traveled to the Reservoir campus for a shared, interactive Academic Club experience with performances and presentations. Today, the Lower School hosted our traditional Club Day for families to visit and take part in some of the incredible activities our learners have been up to!

Thanks to all the staffulty members who made these amazing activities possible and to the families who joined us in the celebration of our incredible students!

Sometimes, being a good pet owner means doing the best thing for your pet even if it’s hard for you. So today, students in the Lower School said goodbye to Honey, the honeycomb eel who has lived in the library for the past few years. Honey, named for her distinct pattern, is being rehomed because she is quickly outgrowing her tank- honeycomb eels can grow to be up to 3 meters long! After a few months of rehab, the plan is for her to be relocated to Baltimore to live in the National Aquarium!

Honey gave all the students 3D printed eels as parting gifts; students said their goodbyes and played a few Honey-themed games. We’re hopeful that we’ll be able to visit Honey next year at the National Aquarium!
