The Heights School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heights School is a private, independent, preparatory school for boys in Potomac, Maryland, USA. Its mission is to assist parents in the intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual education of their sons. The school's Christian orientation and spiritual formation are entrusted to Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church founded in 1928. The Heights School offers a comprehensive and challenging liberal arts curriculum that gives a solid foundation in English, Foreign and Classical Languages, History, Math and Science.
In 2002, The Washington Post released a report ranking Washington, D.C. metropolitan high schools using their Challenge Index. The Heights School was ranked second highest among DC metropolitan private schools in terms of quality of academic preparation and advanced placement testing.
