  • St. Albans School is a selective, private college preparatory school for boys in Washington, D.C. The School's motto, "Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria," translates to "For Church and Country. " Its mascot is the bulldog and its team colors are blue and white. The school is named after St. Alban, traditionally regarded as the first British martyr. Within the St. Albans community, the school is commonly referred to as "STA". It enrolls approximately 570 boys from grades 4 through 12 and is affiliated with the National Cathedral School for Girls (NCS) and the co-ed Beauvoir School for PK-3 students, all located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral on Mount St. Alban in Washington. Through the coordinate program with NCS, English classes during the junior year, as well as a number of electives offered by both St. Albans and NCS, are co-educational. A 2004 article in the Wall Street Journal found that among U.S. schools, St. Albans had the 11th-highest success rate in placing graduates at 10 selective universities. St. Albans graduates include Former Vice President Al Gore, U.S. Senator Evan Bayh, U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. , Apollo astronaut Michael Collins, NFL athlete Jonathan Ogden, Journalists David Ignatius, David Plotz and Ian Urbina, and Fox News host Brit Hume. The school was founded in 1909 by Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of President James Buchanan, as a school for boy choristers at the Washington National Cathedral, a program that the school continues today. Seventy-one percent of the faculty at the school have advanced degrees. The school also maintains one writer-in-residence, who teaches English classes while developing his or her work. (A past writer-in-residence is Curtis Sittenfeld, who worked on her best-selling novel "Prep" while at St. Albans. ) The school’s seventh headmaster is Vance Wilson, who recently completed ten years as Headmaster. Wilson serves as the President of the International Boys School Coalition (IBSC), a world-wide organization for all-boys schools.
