[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Field is probably too expensive, but is Burke? It’s in the low 50s. I’m not a fan of Waldorf schools, but Washington Waldorf is cheaper than SSFS. May be a good option. I wouldn’t touch SSFS with a ten foot pole. And I say that as a Quaker who was considering it for my kids in the future.[/quote]

Why? We have heard recent feedback that the school stable, students thriving and a comeback story? Are you at the school currently?[/quote]

No, I’m not at the school - I was considering it in the future for MS/HS for DC. We live near it and the price point was a major selling point, as well as it being Quaker.

I’ve read of many small colleges closing after having financial problems that gain attention. I suspect SSFS will be closed within 10 years, probably 5 years. Number of attendees is going down. I’m sure the remaining students are more likely to be on FA that isn’t portable. Similar situation to Manhattan Country School in NYC. But we don’t even know the whole financial picture as they don’t release a 990 since it’s not required as a religious institution. [/quote]
