Holton-Arms School

Holton-Arms is an independent college-preparatory school for girls in grades 3–12, located in Bethesda, Maryland.

In 1901, Jessie Moon Holton and Carolyn Hough Arms founded Holton-Arms School.

The school was located at 2125 S Street, NW, Washington, D.C.[1] Holton-Arms moved to Bethesda in 1963.

Its facilities include a science wing and lecture hall, two libraries, a performing arts center with a 400-seat theater and new black box theater, art and ceramic studios (with a kiln) and photo lab, three dance studios, a double gymnasium, an indoor competition-size pool, a weight and training room, and dining room renovated in 2012.

[citation needed] The School's mission is to cultivate the unique potential of young women through the “education not only of the mind, but of the soul and spirit.” (Jessie Moon Holton, 1866–1951).
