Truly challenging private schools in NoVA

Anonymous
I am not worried about my DCs spending an hour (or two) on homework. Duh...

My kids get out of school at 4. An hour or two of homework eats up the entire evening.

No, it takes from perhaps 4:30 to 6:30 ... then they eat, watch TV, bathe, and go to bed. Travel team practice eats up the whole evening. Plus the homework is a lot more educational than TV, or carpooling, or etc. Glad my kids have it - and guess what, they get plenty of TV time in, as well as read at least an hour a night.

DS loves FHS. Very social. Not so much homework. Seems like every 10 days or so, he catches up. Otherwise no so much homework. 30-45 mins?

PP oabove. I have seen greater "interest" in his school work. Ie, asks me to take him to Michaels for project, asks for required books, watches a movie in foreign language, ect. We really like FHS. Just hope we can afford it next year!
