We're in Arlington. The Montessori Program at Drew is supposed to be great -- to attend the program, you need preschool Montessori experience. There is also a regular elementary school (non-Montessori) within Drew -- I've heard from one Montessori parent that there are some tensions between the two programs.

If you are zoned for Drew, I believe you have some other options, as well. You might want to check out Campbell. Parents I know with kids there are extremely happy with the school. I'm not sure what the other choices are, but I know there are some.

Yes, check out Campbell! We are similar to Drew in some ways. If you like the culture there it is worth a comparison. Plus, busing is available for all kids in the Drew zone to go to Campbell!
