The high academic standards for which Holton-Arms School is known today were set during its first years at 2125 S Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Small classes were maintained to afford a maximum amount of individual attention to each student, and only the most qualified teachers were invited to join a faculty dedicated to the education of youth, "not just to the education of the mind but of the soul and spirit." Mrs. Holton's dream was to create an "Open Door," where students would be inspired to explore new ideas and develop their full potential. She also insisted that they give back to the community.
