National Presbyterian School
Preschool in Washington, DC
The history of the National Presbyterian School is tied to that of The National Presbyterian Church and Center, which dates back to 1794 when a tiny group of Scottish stonemasons worshipped in a carpenter's shop on the grounds of the White House. Eventually that group merged with others and over time there arose a desire to found a church that would represent Presbyterianism nationwide. In 1947 The National Presbyterian Church was formally proclaimed, and in 1961 The General Assembly, directing that a visible and audible center for Presbyterianism in Washington be created.
