Browne Academy is a pre-kindergarten through grade eight independent school preparing girls and boys in the metropolitan Washington, DC area for competitive secondary schools. We are dedicated to the development of the individual child as an independent, lifelong learner who embraces the core values of excellence, diversity, character and community.

• We believe that the education of each child is a partnership among the child, the teacher, and the parent.
• We stress the personal growth of each girl and boy academically and through the development of core values, which will enable her or him to become responsible community members.
• We design our programs to provide each child opportunities for success.
• We see the development of a child as a nurturing process that flows from grade-to-grade, and division-to-division, fostering critical thinking and independent learning.
• We define the Browne Academy family as all members of our community, including the students, teachers, parents, alumni, grandparents and special friends.
• We appreciate the uniqueness of all members of the Browne family and their contributions to the building of community at Browne.
• We are committed to advancing faculty expertise to promote an integrated curriculum and differentiated instruction.
