We had a good experience at Grace, two kids went there and both were challenged, one got accepted to a top 3. |
We are at Grace and are extremely happy. Two of our kids are there, and love it. They both tested in the gifted range (140s) but are finding Grace both challenging and supportive. Plus the parents we have met are incredibly welcoming and nice. Except, I suppose, for the ones who left and are now poor-mouthing the school on this board...

St. Anselm's for boys starting in 6th grade. Truly a gem, and probably has the strongest academics around. |
Grace Episcopal in Silver Spring? |
The lower school (N-K) is in Silver Spring. The upper school (1-8) is in Kensington, about 10 minutes away. Fantastic curriculum, great teachers, great families. |
PP here - that should read first through eighth. Not sure what's up with that smiley face... |
Christian Family Montessori School in Mt. Rainier, MD. It's diverse, affordable, small, and excellent. |
Capitol Hill Day School. Look at the exmissions. |
What in the heck is your problem? You just sound like a nasty, mean, idiot with a big 'ol chip on your shoulder... and you have no idea at what you are flaming away. You are wrong on every count. It is so bizarre how there is this small person, or small group perhaps, who loves to flame away at St Patrick's, at Beauvoir, at Lowell, at Sidwell, or at whatever school you want to name, every chance s/he gets. I mean, really, do you not have anything better to do? There is really no reason top flame away at any school unless you have some score to settle, and that just makes you look pathetic. Comments like these have no veracity and offer no assistance to anyone. Go crawl back under your rock. |
So true and pp is so wrong!!! Actually only 35% of the students are from the parish and St. Pat's is a lovely, lovely school with very strong academics. Her DC was probably waitlisted or rejected!!! ![]() |
seems a big smug, your last statement . . . |
In what area? What exactly are you looking for? Smaller meaning lower teacher/student ratios, or just not as large as ??which schools? What age? I love my son's school, and I would consider it a "hidden gem" because I had never heard of it (and it is only a few miles from my home) until a friend of a friend told me how much she loved it for her kids. I made a visit, and it "felt" better, had bigger rooms (it is an old MoCo elementary), great outside areas, seemed more organized, teachers are caring and more experienced, etc, etc, than others I had toured. It is Childrens Learning Center in Rockville-they have infant care thru 5th grade. They are relatively less expensive than other area private schools. |
I'm confused. Isn't Children's Learning Center a daycare center? |
I'm confused. Isn't Children's Learning Center a daycare center? It is a school--but they do have "child care" options for elementary kids. If you child goes to a nearby elementary school, CLC has vans that will pick up and bring to CLC until parent can pick up at 6pm. They also have before school care starting at 7, and they'll take your child to elementary. They also recently added an infant class as well as an 18 month old class, so maybe that is why you thought/heard it was daycare. www.clcmd.org |
