Explore Our Campus
Lowell School is located on 8.5 beautiful acres in the historic Shepherd Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. The school's three buildings are conveniently nestled between 16th St. and Rock Creek Park, a few blocks south of the DC-Maryland line and downtown Silver Spring, providing students and their families with easy access and an unmatched setting for learning.
Students have access to three science labs, three libraries, two art studios, a dedicated maker space, three playgrounds, an indoor pool, a black box theater, a gym, a large outdoor multipurpose space, and a creek with a tadpole hatching pond and wetlands for exploring. In addition, the roofs of each building on campus are outfitted with solar panels.
There are three parking lots on campus. Two are at the far end of the driveway, closest to the exit onto Kalmia Rd; the other is behind the Parkside building, with its entrance on 17th St.

Land Acknowledgment
We would like to acknowledge and pay our deep respect to the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people, elders, and ancestors: past, present, and future.
European colonists introduced disease to, engaged in warfare with, and took land by force from the Nacotchtank people, which led to the loss of their culture and people.
The Piscataway people were forced to relocate outside of the Anacostia watershed.
For centuries, they have engaged in active resistance by celebrating and participating in cultural traditions. They continue to fight for recognition of promises made in treaties with the U.S. government.
We invite you to join us in recognizing, respecting, and expressing gratitude for the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people, the first stewards of this land.
