Voices for Learning courses are held at Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School, on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. The Cathedral is located at the intersection of Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues in the Upper Northwest section of Washington, D.C.
On the day of your Voices for Learning course, please park in any Beauvoir designated visitor space on the Cathedral grounds (look for the green signs) or in the National Cathedral School Athletic Center Garage. Though some Beauvoir signs may specify school day parking only, please disregard in the summer. Please print this visitor permit to display on your dashboard.
The Cathedral opened a new underground parking garage, in which visitors to Beauvoir are welcome to park. If you are unable to locate a Beauvoir visitor space on the grounds, please enter the garage from the main entrance off of Wisconsin Avenue or side entrance off Woodley Road. Pull a ticket, and Beauvoir will validate parking for three hours of your course. Click here to view a map of the Cathedral grounds.
