Christ Episcopal school - enrollment, etc.

[Anonymous]

I am thinking of private school for my 2 children (elementary). I have been to a couple of open houses. Does anyone have info on Christ Episcopal in Rockville? I can't find much info on the website. How big is the school? Why is there an "interim head"? Other than that, seems most of the schools are still taking applications, even after the deadline.

I toured that school in February and was super-impressed. Granted, I have "not" toured any of the big threes or whatever people call them on here. I am interested in a smaller setting. CES has about 250 students, K-8. I believe they are expanding their preschool to take 2 year olds, but not sure about that. They are also looking to expand to about 400 students in the future, with two classrooms for each grade.

I don't know why they've got an interim head. The prior head mistress retired last summer. Perhaps they are taking their time to recruit instead of rushing it through this school year. ?

They are nationally and locally accredited, which I had trouble finding at other schools of similar size.

Their high school placements for the class of 2008 were:


Academy of the Holy Cross
Connelly School of the Holy Child
Georgetown Preparatory School
Glenelg Country School
Landon School
Maret School
Our Lady of Good Counsel High School
Poolesville High School Magnet Humanities Program
Poolesville High School Global Ecology Studies Program
Poolesville High School Advanced Engineering Academy
Richard Montgomery High School International Baccalaureate Program
St. Albans School
St. Andrew’s Episcopal School
St. John’s College High School
Sandy Spring Friends School
Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart
Thomas S. Wootton High School Signature Humanities and Arts Program

I did not like it when I toured. I had some friends who put their dd there, and they were not impressed. They had an inexperienced K teacher.
