From 1977 to 1997, Mark Hill Mullin sustained the excellent quality of education at St. Albans. He also strived to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. To accomplish this, the school began offering Russian and Japanese classes. Student exchange programs and travel fellowships gave students opportunities to study abroad. A writer-in-residence program allowed boys to work alongside practicing authors. A new social service requirement encouraged boys to work in service of others. When, in the 1980s, a teacher fell ill with AIDS, Mullin provided an example guided the entire community on how to respond compassionately. Mullin graduated from Harvard University in 1962 (where he set a new record for the Ivy League mile (4:07.1) and then attended Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar.

The school enrolls approximately 590 day students in grades 4-12, and 30 additional boarding students in grades 9-12. It is affiliated with the National Cathedral School and the co-ed Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School, all of which are located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. All the affiliated schools named are members of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation. The school was founded in 1909, with $300,000 ($7.2 million in 2015 dollars) in funding bequeathed by Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of President James Buchanan. Initially, it was a school for boy choristers to the Washington National Cathedral, a program that the school continues today.
