| Anyone with recent experience at The New School of Northern VA? We're especially interested in experiences in their high school program. |

| My teen is starting there in the fall. I’ll check back to report. We are very excited. He did several shadow days and loved it. Seems like a great school for academically focused quirky kids. |

| My teen will be a sophomore. She can't wait to go back next week. The classes are small. The teachers are very experienced and clearly enjoy teaching. The school does a great job of packaging content, kind of like sneaking veggies into brownies. I've been impressed by how they've taught her self-advocacy. She not only has learned a lot, she's also matured. And there is not a single mean kid in the school. To be clear: It is not a mainstream school. But if you have a kid who is inquisitive and engaged and isn't looking for the typical high school experience, it is a wonderful option. |
