[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They no longer want kids who need learning supports. So as long as your kid doesn't need any you are good.[/quote]

What does this mean?[/quote]

I’m not the poster of that comment however I know that the lower school did not let in many applicants with mild learning challenges this year vs other years where these kids would have been let in.  Which lead to low enrollment (from what I’ve heard).  [/quote]

SAES parent. Enrollment is the highest it’s ever been school wide and the school has increased size in lower and middle school fairly dramatically over the 8 years we have been here so that part isn’t quite right.

But I do think, though, that there is mismatch sometimes between the reputation among some of SAES as being especially good at dealing with learning differences or “quirky” kids (whatever that hard to define term means). I don’t think that is true.

We love the school, but it is a pretty traditional suburban private like Bullis or SSSAS or Flint Hill. It is not a school like Burke or Field that has a more nontraditonal approach to learning. To be clear, those schools are awesome. But they different in learning approach to SAES, which is very traditional in most respects. We are lucky to have such variety.

My advice is you’ll likely be much happier with what SAES offers if you are comparing it to Bullis than if you are thinking of it as similar to Field. [/quote]
