| Looking late (yes, I know we are getting a very late start!) for next year, for a 6th grader. Diverse and inclusive, along with small class size and interesting learning theories are ideal. NW DC preferred. Thanks! |

| Having no ideas of who might have openings...maybe check Springwell School in Silver Spring, Oneness in Bethesda, or Washington Waldorf. |

| Good luck, OP. Start calling schools now. |

| Haha, like you really get a choice. Apply to a bunch and see what you get into. |

| Edmund Burke but highly doubt there will be openings for 6th grade. |

| This is no longer your decision. But this is a cute post. |

| If for an academically motivated boy, and you don't mind the commute (or use the bus), I highly recommend St. Anselm's Abbey School. |

Let Burke and Lowell know your interested. They may have an openings before September. |

I would really just start calling, as no one knows who will have spots.
Good luck! |

No, call. Most schools aren’t taking applications right now- they just sent out acceptances. First thing to do is touch base with the school(s). |

| New School of Northern Virginia. Inclusive, small class sizes. Starts in 6th grade. But it's...in Fairfax VA |

Sidwell says you can apply late, but I have a child on the current 6th grade wait list for next year, so I imagine you’d need serious VIP status – in which case, you probably wouldn’t be asking.
If you’re moving from outside the area, it’s worth some calls, but you should know that this was a particularly rough year for 6th grade admits, especially if coming from public school. |

Hard no. |

| As others have said, you have a lot of calls ahead to track down spots. I'd start with K-8's - it's no uncommon for kids to transfer out at middle school, so they may have openings as kids have accepted spots at other schools. |
