Washington-Lee was the first of the three comprehensive high schools in Arlington to be established. Now in its 86th year of operation, the school boasts a diverse student population representing more than 50 countries from across the globe. International exchange opportunities at Washington-Lee include Rheims, France and Heredia, Costa Rica. W-L is proud of its history and traditions, which include honors by the U.S. Department of Education, the Virginia Board of Education, the Virginia Department of Education, and the Washington Post and Newsweek Magazine.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma was first offered at Washington-Lee in 1998, when the first cohort of 13 students graduated. Since that time, over 400 students have earned the prestigious IB Diploma, in conjunction with the State of Virginia Advanced Studies Diploma.
