Nora School

The Nora School is a private progressive college-preparatory high school in Silver Spring, Maryland.

A nonprofit school with 501(c)(3) status, it was formerly known as The Eberhard School, Washington Ethical Society School, and Washington Ethical High School.

The school's mission is to guide students to identify their talents, understand where their challenges lie, and honor their unique identities. It works toward this goal through a diverse, active curriculum that uses teaching and operational strategies to promote social equity, justice, and environmental stewardship.

The school's social education program includes monthly community service projects; a student trip that follows the path of civil rights from Atlanta, Georgia, to Selma, Alabama; individual college counseling; and weekly advisory meetings. Students often attend leadership conferences in and out of the state. Classes include Future Issues, Global Communities, and Environmental Science.
