| Style and grammar? Don't we have AI for that now? I am more worried about critical thinking skills. |

| Burke would be a great option for you DD. And it is easy to access by metro. |

That is wrong thinking. Writing is critical thinking, including style and grammar. |

I agree. My student has had some excellent English and Literature teachers at Burke. |

| We are very pleased with the writing curriculum at Sidwell. My 6th grader is working on writing a novel, which will then be published at the end of the process. |

Agree. The writing is excellent. Students really learn how to write a well organized paper or opinion piece, etc... |

| English instruction at Sheridan is terrific. Wonderful teachers and a lot of emphasis on writing. DC was well-prepared for rigorous HS English classes. |

Agree. They are strict in 7th and 8th grade, but in the best possible way. |
