Most Beautiful School?

Anonymous
Georgetown Prep - don't have a son, but have been on campus for swimming, camps, and SSAT tests. Nicest fields, buildings, layout I've seen in the area.

Sidwell's sports facility and grounds remind me of a college. I think it is gorgeous. Inside is just okay.

Madeira is beautiful on the outside but I haven't been inside

Potomac I don't get. Nothing special at all. Very similar to the school my child goes to - Holton, which is average at best. Desperate need for a sports facility overhaul.



I think Holton will expand or update their campus soon. Recently, they updated the front entrance and the dining room. I'm sure more updates are coming. It is a lovely campus and they use their space well.


I don't know. Their gym is basic, their track is so far off the beaten path. Their softball fields are terrible. The only thing they care about is their pool and tennis courts. The turf field is great but it is in lower school with no parking. It is too choppy.

Holton has been known for their state of the art campus for some time. I am sure they are going to invest money into the campus as needed. I prefer that they continue to put money into the academic programs and teacher salaries, rather than facilities. We selected the school for the top notch academics, not the campus. The school has everything they need. Sure there are more attractive schools, but it's school not camp.

Woodberry is as good as it gets between the college style buildings, about a million acres, a river, a golf course, and the Residence. Nicer than nearly every college.

I wouldn't even classify that as the metropolitan area. If you are going to go there, then include Andover and Exeter.

A school 80 miles away is a lot more reasonable to include than ones 500 miles away.

Might be time for some remedial math and/or geography at EHS.

WFS is beautiful. It is in VA so I'd count it as kind of the metro area. A lot of the boarding schools in the metro-ish area have lovely campuses like Saint James, Christchurch and Mercersburg.
