Events & Tours

We invite you to discover the many ways we live our mission to believe in the power of young women. At NCS, you’re surrounded by devoted teachers who’ll inspire you to achieve your highest goals and by amazing classmates who share your learning ambitions. We hope you’ll visit and see yourself here. We look forward to sharing our beautiful campus with you!

Our Campus

59 acres that include woods and gardens known as the Cathedral Close—is a vibrant, special place. As an NCS student, you will also take full advantage of our Washington, D.C. location to witness the daily workings of our nation firsthand.

Walk into any space—our four well-equipped classroom buildings, the awe-inspiring Cathedral, or our state-of-the-art 90,000 square-foot Athletic Center—to find students and their teachers engaged together in purposeful activity of the mind, body, and soul.
