Kutt was working at the

District of Columbia
on May 18, 1988, and held its first classes the following September with 10 students.

The lower school, pre-school through 8th grade, is located on the grounds of St. John's Episcopal Church, Norwood Parish, in Chevy Chase. In 2017, the school added a second campus, for high school students, at Grace Episcopal Day School in Kensington.[4]

Demographics

In 2017-18, the racial makeup of Oneness-Family School's K–12 students was 74.4%

Asian/Pacific Islander.[5]

About 40% of families are international, representing more than 60 countries.[6]

Academics

Keeping with Montessori principles, students learn in mixed-age groups instead of single-grade classrooms. Those include the Little Stars program for 2- and 3-year-olds, the Children's Peace Garden for 3-year-olds to

kindergarteners, the Peace Arbor for grades 1 to 3, the Peace Academy for grades 4 and 5, the Peace Ambassadors program for grades 6 to 8, and the high school program for grades 9 to 12.[7][8]

The curriculum emphasizes global awareness and the study of other cultures.[9] Students annually celebrate the founding of the United Nations with diplomats stationed in the local area.[10]

In addition to traditional academic subjects, Oneness-Family School teaches nature experiences, meditation, yoga, and tai chi to help students work on self-discipline and relaxation[6] as part of its Self-Discovery curriculum.
