Saint Andrews in Potomac

[Anonymous]

St. Andrews impressed us as a school that can handle kids with different needs more flexibly than most. Our child's challenges are different from yours (no attentional issues, but social thinking challenges), but we found St. A's to make a very welcoming presentation and they said all the right things in terms of the emphasis of social/emotional skill development in the classroom.

Their classes being smaller than competitors like Norwood, etc., St. Andrews' gave us the impression they were better able to adapt to individual student needs.

We wound up choosing the Barnesville school instead, where we are delighted with everything -- the academic rigor, the teachers, the flexible administration -- and the setting. I'd recommend it to anyone -- but if that's too far of a drive for you, you're probably wise to check out SAES.

Ha. In the "olden days" of this site, the Barnesville head of school used to come on DCUM to have a dialogue. Before the increase in wackadoodles, obvs.
