Pinnacle Academy is at the edge of our radius and has resonable tuition. Is it strong academically?


Isn't Pinnacle Academy a Gulen school? Formerly an ally of Erdogan, who made his name with test prep schools in Turkey and now has a charter/private school network in the US. The education is probably OK, but the Gulen network gives me hives.

Is Dominion Christian in your range? K-6 in Oakton, 7-12 in Reston. We pulled a child from AAP to there, probably for many of your reasons, and are *really* happy with it.

Academy for Christian Education, in Reston, has a good rep. I believe they target high performing students.

Oak Hill Christian is another nearby school in the classical vein.



Probably those are a bit too far, but I will take a look, thanks

So I have two kids that were in AAP at a FCPS but moved them to Nysmith in 2020 - best decision ever. The classes and teachers are fantastic and they have learned far more then they would have in public school - our next door neighbor has same aged kids in the AAP program at our pyramid school. I highly recommend Nysmith if you are looking for a very strong academic curriculum.

[i] Getting into St. Leos if you are not Catholic is tough and we have not heard great things about Holy Spirit.[i]

This simply is not true. St Leos has ample openings for non Cathollic families. Moreover, Holy Spirit is one of the stronger performing schools in the Diocse. I would strongly recommend you tour each school and get a sense for each.

Nysmith is still accepting applications too

Ironic that the thought of Gulen schools gives you hives but then you go on to name some deeply religious Christian schools.
