[quote=Anonymous]TL;DR version: we are moving to NoVA next year with a modest budget (about $350k) and an introverted preschooler. What are some good elementary options?

DD is a classic introvert: the focus and attention span of a Zen master, gets worn out after too much activity/excitement. Not shy, but does her best with plenty of rest and time to work independently. I'm looking for an environment that's warm and calm. I would love a montessori but it sounds like it's hard to get in, especially in K -- true? I like the sound of Campbell too -- what are the chances of getting in if you live in one of the feeder school zones? We could very comfortably afford a condo in this area so if it's pretty easy to get in there, that would be a good option. And are there any other elementary schools that have a laid back vibe in K that we should be looking at (more unstructured time, maybe more independent time/centers, some period of quiet/rest time, stuff like that). I'm open to further out burbs, but would prefer to be close in so that DD spends less time in extended day and has more time at home to recharge. TIA.[/quote]
