Stone Ridge is one of the "Big 3" for girls? Who knew? BTW, it's Holton. |

feed back I got on elizabeth seton was their science/math is very strong...which can be harder to find at a private school.

That's good to hear. I keep hearing that Seton is a really nice community, that the girls are nice to each other. But I hadn't heard specifics about the academics. |

OP here, I have two girls of elementary age. I am wondering if Stone Ridge is a good option. It is 35 minutes away according to my phone and goes up to 12th grade. Holy Child and Holton-Arms are also 35+ minutes away. We are in Northern Virginia so it is a hike to get into the city during rush hour although it is giving me Visitation at 38 minutes away.
Stone Ridge Holy Child Holton-Arms What are these three schools like? Are certain girls a better fit? What is the general atmosphere? |

| OP this has been debated and discussed many times over, if you do a search you will find all the information you need here. You might want to actually go and visit all of the schools that start in elem. and start there. Good luck! |
