Not OP and I don’t know about Grace, but SSSAS is probably a higher price point than the schools on that list, so that might be why.

SSSAS gives solid financial aid, so depending on income that could be worth consideration.

If OP has an issue with “woke” they should probably not consider SSSAS. I imagine it’s not a big thing in the youngest grades (DC did not attend for LS), but we have lots of non-binary, trans, and other LGBTQ folk in the US. Very supportive environment.

There's a new private school with a "classical and Christian education" in Arlington. I believe it's called Tyndale Christian School. It is Anglican, so I believe they follow the Church of England, thus not Catholic strictly speaking.

This is OP, I am not opposed to non relgious.
Just curious if the school overall had woke vibes?

You HAVE to expand your vocabulary. No one even knows what this means anymore. And it makes you sound dumb. Just use other words.

NP. I don’t know about woke vibes but my children attended one of the schools on the list and there were definitely Republican “vibes”.

Everyone knows what it means and it’s a legit question even if you don’t like it.

DC is starting K in the Fall there, so I am extremely happy to hear this.

Congrats! As I said, no personal experience with LS, but DC has lifer friends who loved all of it, and we love the US. Welcome, I hope it’s a great experience for your child!

It's ACNA, which is different than CoE by a lot. TEC is more like CoE. Tyndale is a homeschool co-op that is going to be K-4 and the plan is to grow it into a school, but that's not where it's starting. It's being started by parents at The Falls Church Anglican. We're parishoners there (which is how I know about it) but I went to a just-starting-out classical Christian school as a kid and that isn't right for my family. I wish the school the best, though.

Anglican Church of North America (ACNA) is in communion with the Anglican Global South and generally follows the actual Church of England. It is, however, very distinct from the US Episcopal Church. In several ways, ACNA is more similar to the actual CoE in England than the US Episcopal church.

That noted, the interesting thing to some of us on the sidelines is how much larger (active members) and more successful The Falls Church Anglican has been than The Falls Church (Episcopal) which it split off from.

That we are. You are probably going to be happier at one of the classical Christian schools. It is hard to get into Catholic schools as a non-Catholic.

I would look at St James and OLGC. Both strong schools with 2 classes per grade. Fantastic education
