 | Welcome to the online home of Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School. Whether you are a first time visitor, a current parent or an alum, we are so glad you are visiting our website.
Beauvoir is an independent elementary school, serving a co-ed population of 380 students from grades Pre-Kindergarten through Third. Our campus is located on the picturesque grounds of the Washington National Cathedral in Northwest Washington, D.C.
Beauvoir means beautiful view in French--and since 1933, Beauvoir has taken a beautiful view of educating young children. Under the nurturing guidance of our faculty, children at Beauvoir are challenged and supported academically while also learning the character-building skills that will help them succeed throughout their lives.
At Beauvoir, we recognize that the years between three and ten are the most intensely productive and vital learning years in a child’s life. Children’s earliest educational experiences help shape the kind of learners they become. For this reason, we seek to develop in our students a spirit of inquiry and a joy in learning.
We hope our website site provides you with a glimpse of the spirit and joy that Beauvoir students feel when they walk through the front doors of our school. As always, we invite you to visit Beauvoir and see it for yourself!
Sincerely,
Paula J. Carreiro
Head of School
