[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Convenant School was founded post-Brown v. Board so that white parents wouldn't have to send their children to integrated schools. FYI.

I love Charlottesville. I did my doctorate there and really enjoyed my time at UVA. It's become much, much more crowded and populous since I left, and traffic is worse. But, it's still charming. [/quote]

[b]What the PP writes about Covenant can be said about most privates in our area.[/b] Those who were founded earlier pivoted to that mission in admissions in the civil rights era. A lot has changed since then.

I know one teacher at Covenant and this person is a phenomenal educator. They do support their faculty's professional development and are not overly religious. Academics do matter there.[/quote]

Which DC private schools were actually founded after Brown because of that decision? Curious. Most of the well-known private schools in this area were founded well before Brown and then integrated just before or after the decision came out. (GDS would be the exception among the well-known private schools in the DC area.)
