Mission

The mission of Fourth School is to pass on the best of our cultural inheritance to our covenant children in the light of a reformed Christian worldview so that all students may know and pursue what is good, true and beautiful.

Through this pursuit, our graduates will be able to understand, evaluate and transform their world under the lordship of Christ by contributing thoughtfully and responsibly to family life, to the church's life and mission, and to the political and cultural life of the general society, all to the glory of God.

The school is a ministry of Fourth Presbyterian Church in Bethesda, Maryland, and is governed by an independent board of directors elected by the Session of the church.
