Thanks but I don't need parenting advice.

You just want to advise schools to work around your kid?

Thanks.

Cathedral schools start at 8 but have one day every 7 day rotation where they go in at 9:10. It sounds like Madeira and a few others start at 8:30. I guess it depends on where you live and what’s closest.

My kids are at Landon which has a late start one day which I love. We fit in the orthodontist, allergy shots, physical therapy etc . . .

But it would drive me nuts if it rotated. I can't schedule standing appointments and my own work schedule around something that rotates!

Thank you for sharing this. People are acting as if OP’s request is outside the norm, when it actually matches what is pretty resoundingly, universally recommended by the medical and public health establishment.

A school that starts that late simply pushes sports and theater to much later in the evening, and in the mid to late fall and early spring, with Daylight Savings, that isn't viable unless the school has lights on the field.

Are you going to tell their bosses that they can't start work before 8:30 as well? Their college professors?

I remember finding this out when we looked at a house there.

How is this in any way relevant? Private and loudoun don’t go together. No one thinking about sending their kid is going to live there, vice versa

OP: I (and the research community) agree with you! FYI, just clarifying that St. Andrew’s now begins at 8:40am. That change of 5 minutes earlier is effective this fall. And, the school still dismisses at 3:45pm.
Good luck with compiling suitable options.

Then why are you asking for advice on a parenting board?

Asking for schools with later start times it’s not the same thing as asking for “parenting advice.” Are you really that dense?

Is OP’s Google broken?

Field starts at 8:30 for high school.

You don’t sound like a good parent. By now your kids should be able to get up early. What are they going to do when they have jobs? Stop babying then!
