The Sidwell Friends School is dedicated to supporting the mind, body and spirit of every student, not just in the classroom, but also in the theater, on the playing field, in the community, and at camps.  Throughout the year, students are able to participate in a variety of performances and exhibits.  A diverse athletic program allows students to take on new challenges and grow as members of a team and as individuals.  Sidwell Friends' commitment to community service gives students the opportunity to participate in the community around them by dedicating time and attention to those less fortunate or particularly challenged.  The Summer Programs, which are also available to non-Sidwell Friends students, round out an exciting year of learning.  Participants may attend a day or an overnight program or take advantage of the many academic course opportunities.
