It was in fact a vocation type school, though the word vocation was never used in affiliation with it. The school existed to train secretaries around the world and was number one in the counrty at one time (before it closed).
Most of the attendees were previously college graduates, ambassadors and diplomats daughter and those that wished to be secretaries to those in high rank in Washington, DC - politicians and diplomats on the hill, CEOs of large corporations, top legal firms, etc.
The courses were college accredited and transferrable to numerous colleges in the vicinity - Prince George's County and other outlining counties.
Very prestigious, very top notch school with very high expectations and requirements for graduation. This was a very difficult school to get into as it required something similar to a very high type SAT or entrance exam. The requirements to graduate from this secretarial school where some of the most elite and stringent in the country.

The Washington School for Secretaries, founded in 1913 in Washington, D.C., aimed to provide training for women in secretarial skills and office management. Over the years, it adapted to changing educational needs and eventually became part of the broader shift in vocational training. By the late 20th century, it transitioned into a more comprehensive educational institution, ultimately closing its doors in the early 2000s. Its legacy remains in the evolution of secretarial training and women's roles in the workforce.
