Founded in 1934, Green Acres School is among the nation’s foremost progressive schools. Firmly rooted in the belief that education is the engine for social change, founder Alice Mendham Powell envisioned and built a school that would give children a voice, empower them to think critically and inventively about real-world problems, and equip them with the skills they need to participate fully in a democracy.
This legacy of engaged citizenship and academic excellence continues today at Green Acres and is bolstered by the school’s commitment to inclusion and diversity, social justice, service learning and environmental stewardship.
Green Acres graduates find success in high school college, and beyond, using their solid intellectual foundation, creativity and strong ethical framework to emerge as leaders in a wide variety of disciplines.
Located on 15 wooded acres in North Bethesda, Green Acres is a MAEOE Maryland Green School. Learning extends into an oasis of pristine forest, outdoor pathways, gardens, and streams—particularly advantageous for STEAM learning—as well as playgrounds, athletic fields, a greenhouse and an on-site pool.
