For over 50 years, The Lab School has been providing an exceptional academic experience for students (grades 1-12) with learning differences. The first school of its type in the nation, The Lab School enjoys a worldwide reputation for transforming lives and guiding students on the path toward success. The Lab School of Washington is an innovative learning community fostering scholarship and creativity in students with different learning styles.
