[quote=Anonymous]Any parents here who can comment on St Stephen & St Agnes? We have a daughter in public school in Alexandria and have mixed feelings about it, and are beginning to look into local private schools. We love our neighborhood and don't want to have to drive her into DC every day or move into DC, so we're restricting our search to local schools at this point. We're very high on Burgundy-- think the progressive approach would be a great fit for our family-- and would probably send her there if she gets in, but she won't be applying for an intake year, so we feel like we can't count on having that as an option. Anyone have a sense of St Stephen's for elementary (she'd be going into 2nd grade). I have heard not-so-great things about the culture of the school when it comes to high school-- words used like snotty, countyr club set, etc-- but I don't know if these are fair, or true in the lower school as well? And is it very traditional/rigid curricularly? Our daughter is an imaginative, artistic child-- does fine on the academics, but nothing stellar, and we'd lie her to be somewhere where her creativity and curiosity will be rewarded. Any comments appreciated (or suggestions of other schools?)[/quote]
