History

Founded in 1927 as Mrs. Cook's School, Sheridan was later renamed after its original location of Sheridan Circle on Embassy Row. Incorporated as a non-profit in 1961, it moved two years later to its current location on 36th Street, NW, in the North Cleveland Park neighborhood. In 1971, the school purchased a 130-acre Mountain Campus in Luray, Virginia.[1]

Mountain campus

Challenge at Sheridan is not limited to the classroom. The school's 130-acre Mountain Campus in Luray, Virginia, provides students with an opportunity to move outside the comfort of their regular surroundings and experience new levels of challenge in nature—a perspective that plays a vital role in developing confidence and character. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the facility includes platform tents, a dining hall, and a nature center. Various team-building activities include a zip line, a giant swing, a climbing wall and a high- and low-ropes courses. Each grade engages in the outdoor education program twice each school year.[2]

Notable alumnus

  • Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States, attended Sheridan from kindergarten to third grade.[3]
