Maret School is a coeducational, non-sectarian, K–12 independent school in Washington, D.C. It was founded by Marthe Maret in 1911 as a French primary school for girls and boys.

Graduation of Jeanne Maret from George Washington University

History

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, three French sisters, Mlles. Marthe, Louise, and Jeanne Maret, left their home in the village of Marignan (Sciez) in France close by Geneva, Switzerland, to teach. Louise taught in Russia, Jeanne in the Philippines, and Marthe (who became blind at age 18), in Washington, D.C.[1]

By 1911, Louise and Jeanne had joined Marthe in Washington, where they were inspired to bring an international flavor to education. They founded the Maret French School, later named Maret School. In 1923, the sisters moved the school to 2118 Kalorama Road with an enrollment of 62 culturally diverse students.[1]

By 1950, Margaret Williams had joined the school, which she led for the next 18 years. In 1952, growing enrollment compelled the School's Board of Trustees to secure a larger campus at 3000 Cathedral Avenue, NW. In 1953, boys were admitted to the Upper School. By 1966, enrollment totaled 375 students.[1]

Maret School was led by three headmasters throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s: William Laxner, William Layton, and John Francis. Starting in the mid 1970s, Peter A. Sturtevant Sr. led Maret for two decades. To accommodate a growing enrollment, the school added additional facilities for athletics, arts, and academics.[1]

Marjo Talbott replaced Sturtevant as headmaster in 1994, before retiring in.[2]

After serving Maret for 29 years, Talbott retired in 2023. She was succeeded by Dennis Bisgaard.[3]

Current profile

Maret's student body consists of 650 students.[4] 53% of students and 41% of faculty identify as People of Color.[4] 68% of faculty hold advanced degrees.[4] 25% of students receive financial aid.[5]
