| The smaller the better! Are there schools with 12-15 children in total and a student-teacher ratio 1:6-8? |

Just posted some schools, but they only have 1 teacher per homeroom so a ratio of say 1:6 is hard to find unless you just mean total number of faculty in the whole school compared to total number of students. |

What grade are you looking for in particular?

| My children attend Nysmith which I highly recommend for a small class size and good teacher accessibility. I know of families who commute there from Great Falls, Vienna and Reston - an easy commute on the toll road. |

| Thank you for all the suggestions! We are looking for K and 2nd, primarily, but we also have a preschooler (age 3). |

| Come check out Merritt Academy! We currently have infants through 6th grade, but recently announced plans to expand into 7th and 8th over the next two years. I'd love to give you a tour and talk to you more about your children. |

| Congressional in Falls Church has bus stops in those areas, and they also offer door-to-door bus service. |
