Brilliance Since '66

2025-26 Gala for Financial Aid

For six decades, Washington International School has educated inquisitive, internationally-minded, global citizens. This spring, we celebrate our diamond anniversary with Brilliance Since '66, our 60th Anniversary Gala for Financial Aid.

Returning to the Tregaron Campus for the first time in years, we are throwing a party to recognize WIS's rich history and celebrate its bright future. Together, we’ll raise vital funds for the financial aid that supports our multi-faceted community.  WIS distributes $4.8M in financial aid each year — and every dollar raised at our 60th Anniversary Gala will go toward that purpose.

Join us for drinks, dinner, dancing, and a fun celebration! Let's honor sixty years of brilliance and help WIS shine even brighter in the years ahead.
