Virginia’s leading Episcopal boarding school for girls in grades 8-12 and post-grad
We educate young women of purpose.
Located on the scenic banks of the Rappahannock River in VA, our vibrant boarding school offers:
Small Class Sizes: With a personalized academic path and individualized attention, your daughter will be truly known and supported.
Exceptional Academics: Learning at St. Margaret’s is hands-on and immersive, extending beyond textbooks. Our innovative S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, River, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) curriculum uses the river as a classroom.
Unique Waterfront Campus: From our Rowing & Sculling Academy to afternoons relaxing on the beach, the river touches all aspects of student life. Learn to sail, care for an oyster garden, conduct science labs from the riverbank, and more!
Faith-Based Community: Founded on the Episcopal tradition, girls develop honor and character, respect for others, and a desire to give to the world.
Boarding school students have a distinct advantage amongst their peers in college and beyond - and they succeed at higher rates after cultivating independence, maturity, and resilience in their teen years.
Small-Town Charm
In the safe, historic river town of Tappahannock, VA, the beach, restaurants, coffee, and other amenities are all within walking distance of campus.
5- and 7-Day Boarding Options
We offer flexibility for our boarding students to live on campus full- or part-time.
"St. Margaret's is an incredible sisterhood where we 'learn by doing' and grow from real achievements."
