[quote=Anonymous]I'm based in Virginia, so I'm not very familiar with private schools in Maryland.
The Lab School in DC is designed for students with more severe dyslexia and learning differences, so it may not be the right fit depending on your child's needs.
In Virginia, there's Sienna School in Oakton and Oakwood School in Annandale. However, both could be difficult to access from DC. Flint Hill in Oakton is another option; they offer support for a range of learning differences and provide bus transportation. That said, from what I understand, they focus more on accommodations rather than direct dyslexia remediation or intervention.
I’d also encourage you to consider the social and emotional impact. Does your child have close friends at their current school? Would switching to a private school feel like a punishment to them? Are you planning to keep them in private school through 12th grade? If not, what would a transition back to public school look like—especially since older students often have long-established social circles?
We're not in DC, but we chose to keep our child in public school with their peers and supplement with outside tutoring. It’s worked well for us so far.[/quote]
