[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About half the kids have minor learning differences and half don't but benefit from the small classes and attention. Its extremely nurturing and the teachers focus on each individual child. It isn't for everyone -- its very small -- but go visit and see if it feels right for your child.[/quote] The academics are not great. Bullis and Field are much stronger.[/quote] PP parent of McLean student again. It depends what you are looking for in academics. My DC who attends McLean is very bright and was a fluent reader before he arrived but he really needs the small structured classes. He has been challenged there. Some of the schools folks have listed here are more academically rigorous than McLean -- Field, St. Anselm's, St. Patrick's. Some really aren't -- Bullis and Lowell. This is not a criticism of Bullis and Lowell, I'm just pointing out that McLean is right there with them.[/quote]
