[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a very informal, crunchy environment and the academics are fairly light.  Bullying still happens, of course, but the kids are far more likely to complain to a teacher about it than at other schools.  The kids do spend a fair amount of time on "conflict resolution" skills, but we had a hard time getting our kid to actually explain to us what that means.  If conflict resolution, free play outside and time spent silently waiting for God to speak to your kid is more important to you than hard math skills and learning to write properly, its a great choice.  We were not impressed and left.  Families either really love it and have drank the FCS juice or really don't and move on to better options.  Personally, I think if you need financial aid to go there it's not worth the expense unless a bad PG public is your only other choice.  [/quote]

That brings a lot into perspective. Thank you for sharing. We're currently in a NW DC private and want to shorten our commute. We decided we'd either find a relatively comparable school closer to home (1st preference) or move closer to current school.[/quote]
