Established for more than 100 years, St. Margaret’s School (SMS) is an all-girls boarding and day school for grades 8-12. Girls in SMS are nurtured to be a leader for next generation, an athlete and a scholar. Guided by curiosity and bonded by a shared passion for discovery, SMS's girls believe in themselves and pursue their wildest dreams.

5 reasons to study at SMS:

• College Preparedness: Challenge students with a collaborative STEAM curriculum and rigorous academics, including Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment courses to start earning college credit. The college counselor will help students to navigate different colleges and degree fields to best prepare them for life after graduation from SMS.

• River Program: The waterfront campus along the Rappahannock River enables SMS students to involve the river in all aspects of school life, from classroom to activities e.g. jump into a sailboat, take care of an oyster garden, conduct science labs from the beach, and explore the riverfront community.

• Episcopal Community: SMS is a welcoming and inclusive community where girls can be their authentic self. They live by the "Gospel of Doing" such like “As we grow in age, may we grow in grace” in the School Prayer.

• Athletics: SMS encourages students to challenge themselves and join an athletic team such as crew, volleyball and tennis. Girls should be able to find the team that's right for them.

• Visual and Performing Arts: SMS’s robust arts program offers students a variety of visual and performing arts opportunities which encourage them to explore their creativity and express themselves such as perform with the choir, direct a school play, set up an easel to paint on the River Lawn, or be inspired in the school’s ceramics studio.
