Welcome from Our Head of School

Welcome to Washington School,

With pride, I am ecstatic to report the start of what I believe will be another successful school year–a school year that will have many honors and accomplishments for our school and students and will once again demonstrate that our “Results Prove the Deeds.”

Each academic year presents its own set of challenges and triumphs. The mark of a great school lies in the transformative impact it has on its students and their families. At Washington School, we are unwavering in our commitment to providing the best possible educational experience for our students. This comprehensive experience encompasses a diverse range of activities, from academics and fine arts to athletics and other extracurricular pursuits. The holistic development of our young learners is at the heart of everything we do here at Washington School. 

We are humbled and appreciative to be able to serve our 500 students K3-12th grade, and we know that our mission, vision, and values will allow us to continue to grow and serve even more students throughout the Greenville and Washington County community. We pride ourselves on preparing our students for the next step after Washington School, no matter what that next step may be. 

As you browse the pages of our new website, my hope is that you are able to search and find all the information you need to know about WS and all the different opportunities we are able to provide our students and families. It takes a village to raise a child, and our village is second to none. We could not do what we do without the tireless work of our staff, our parents, and most importantly our proud WS community. The exhausting work of our faculty and staff, the commitment from our parents and community, and all the unparalleled work put in by our students allow Washington School’s results to continue proving the deeds. Every day is a GREAT day to be a Washington School General!

God Bless and Go, Generals,

Chris Chaffinch
