History

Founded in 1927 as Mrs. Cook's School, Sheridan School was later renamed after its original location of Sheridan Circle on Embassy Row. Incorporated as a non-profit in 1961, it moved two years later to its current location on 36th Street, NW, in the North Cleveland Park neighborhood. In 1971, the school purchased a 130-acre Mountain Campus in Luray, Virginia.[1]
