| Hello community... Trying to find a private kindergarten in Bethesda that has small class sizes . Not looking for low student:teacher ratio but low number of kids in each class. Any recommendations? |
|
What's your definition of small, I guess?
We really like Harbor School. I think their K class is about 12 kids, with 2 teachers. |
| Primary Day. |
| Not in Bethesda, but close by, Lowell School has 11 students with two teachers. |
| If you can go a little farther north, Green Acres has very small K classes. 12 or so kids with two teachers. |
| Concord hill school only has one class per grade. |
|
Concord Hill, Harbor, Primary Day, Feynman, Bethesda Community Day School, Bethesda Country Day School, Norwood....
Are you looking for a place for K only? |
| Grace Episcopal Day School has small class size and only one class per grade. It is in Kensington, on CT, right outside of Chevy Chase so very close to Bethesda. |
| Stone Ridge, which is co-ed in K. |
| Harbor School, Pk-2 |
| We love Harbor and sought the school out for its focus on early childhood education. It is a bit of a commute for us but well worth it. The K class this year I think is about 14 kids and 2 teachers and the Junior Kindergarten class about 8 kids and 2 teachers. We looked into other schools that has "small" class sizes but found that they often only had one primary teacher, which can make a big difference at the Kindergarten class level. |
| Are you just looking for kindergarten or considering staying until a certain grade? Are you considering parochial schools? |
| WES (Washington Episcopal) is in Bethesda. |
The 2-teacher model, even for very small classes, is a huge point in Harbor's favor. |
| Norwood has two small kindergarten classes. |
