[quote=Anonymous]I realize most Washingtonians on this thread likely live in Northwest, but I need a second to vent, as a Capitol Hill resident.

There is an appetite for more options. 
- Our public early elementary choices are somewhat fine, but there’s a steep drop off as kids get older.  
- I respect Capitol Hill Day School as a choice for some families who embrace a very, very progressive education model. We’re more traditional in our approach. 
- St. Peter’s is also an option for some Catholic families, and I respect that they educate their children in their faith tradition. We aren’t Catholic, so this isn’t an option for us. 
- Many Capitol Hill families opt to do the Potomac School because of their bus program, and there’s so many wonderful advantages to Potomac. Their high school course catalog and campus are truly inspirational. We’re reluctant to send our little ones so far away/add a long commute to their every day.
- Many families play the lottery for Basis or Latin charters, and admissions is all luck.

I doubt I’m alone in asking “HOW is there not another viable, more traditional secular private school to meet this Capitol Hill appetite?” [/quote]
