About Us
Founded in 1901, Holton-Arms is an independent college-preparatory school for girls in grades 3-12 dedicated to the “education not only of the mind, but of the soul and spirit.” Holton-Arms encourages young women to approach the world with unflinching curiosity and a sense of responsibility to use what they learn for the greatest good. Situated on a verdant campus in Bethesda, Maryland, Holton is a vibrant place where students are deeply engaged in the process of learning, and where they are challenged and nurtured, developing self-confidence and building self-esteem, throughout their academic journey. Holton’s motto, "I will find a way or make one," inspires students to be great leaders in our complex and changing world. There are 175 faculty and staff and 665 students on campus in the 2021-2022 academic year.
