| Are there any private schools (preferably in NOVA) that DO NOT require the WPPSI for Kindergarten entry? We prefer not to have our DD tested for a long list of reasons. Do we have any options? |

| Even if they don't require it, most schools will do their own evaluation at the "playdate." |

| I'm not sure you can get into Green Hedge's Montessori in K if you haven't previously been in a Montessori program though. |

| We are in MD. None of the parish catholic schools required it. |

Low WPPSI scores are correlated to lower IQ and may be an indicator of potential learning diabilities. |

| Don't know about NOVA, but I can't think of any private school in DC that doesn't require the WPPSI for K. There are some that don't require it for Pre-K. Parochial schools don't require testing for K, so you could look into these. |
