[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a broader range of students than other DC private schools, and it works for them.

We had DC at SAES during the middle school, and the school did wonders helping with executive functioning skills, giving us leads on outside resources.
By upper school, DC transferred to a DC private and was fine.
We did not get support at the DC private like SAES and not sure if it is a function of middle school vs upper school?[/quote]

This is interesting. One of my kids could hardly get the accommodations listed in his learning plan in SAES middle school. It took a lot of self-advocacy and reminders to the teachers. He had to be a pest about extra time on tests, and frankly gave up on a lot of it. For example, he would never ask for preferential seating. I think a lot of this is teacher-dependent, though, especially given that there is only full-time one learning specialist for the school.

On the original question, SAES takes kids from a huge range of schools, even some special needs schools. Two things seem to help: Having an applying family member who excels in something (a sport, an instrument, academics, etc.) and clearly having deep pockets. It's not dissimilar from most area private schools in that regard.[/quote]
