[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are possibly relocating to the DC area with our daughter who is currently in 9th grade.  Obviously this isn’t a great time to move and uproot a high schooler.  She currently goes to a rigorous private school in our area and I realize we would need to have our headmistress reach out ti help find her a spot somewhere.  She is a tip top student in terms of grades , honors classes, standardized tests and likes challenging classes but a kind , supportive atmosphere.  She’s very committed to STEM, involved in two school sports, and involved in speech and debate.  She is thinking about computer science as an area of interest for college or engineering, along with economics 
If we make this move we could have some flexibility to try to live near a school that is a good fit.  We’d consider both all girls and co-Ed schools.  Any suggestions on where to look ?

Top of mind is Holton Arms (secular) and National Cathedral School (Episcopalian).  Next tier for all girls would be Madeira (secular), Visitation (Catholic), and Stone Ridge (Secular).

For co-ed, there are a lot of choices.  Sidwell Friends (Quaker), Georgetown Day, Maret and Potomac School are among the most sought-after.  St. John’s College has a strong honors program. Basis Independent in McLean is super strong in STEM, but is not a “kind, supportive atmosphere” (gross understatement).  [/quote]
