[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new full-day K program at Spring Hill is first rate.  I had some heartburn about the class size (25 kids) initially, but the teachers are amazing!

If you have the cash to burn, sure, your child will have a smaller class and a nicer playground.  However, I don't think that your child can do better academically or socially  than Spring Hill.

[b]Also, my child is friends with a diverse group of kids, something I highly value.  DH is a physician and for what its worth, he is so grateful to have gone through public school.  In his job, he needs to be able to communicate and show understanding for people from all walks of life.  [/b]

So, yup I'm glad that we didn't spend +$25K on private school this year!!! That same $25K will fund the 529, a trip to Europe for our whole family and some fun extras.  [/quote]

We've had kids go through Spring Hill and I agree that it's a good school.  But to say it's "diverse" would have to mean your kid knows some Asian kids or a random embassy kid or that a friend lives in an apartment (not in a typical McLean home).  The "all walks of life" comment made me laugh.  [/quote]
