[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a current first grader here. I think that Langley takes a similar approach to Potomac in that they ease into academics (we have friends with kids at Potomac so when we compare what are kids are doing it's more or less the same). The children are challenged at a young age but not stressed. School is a happy place where they feel safe and secure. The curriculum is so rich- a typical week includes two Spanish classes, 3 PE, 2 science labs, 2 sessions of music, 2 art, a weekly LS assembly. The kids feel a strong sense of community and responsibility to their fellow students, teachers and admin. I can't comment directly on the academic rigor as they get older but I know that it's strong. Langley kids attend high schools all over the DC area and boarding. Our new head of school Dr. Scully is from NCS and is dynamite. I think that if there is any weakness whatsoever in academics, she will change it pronto. The new middle school is going to be incredible. It's a very exciting time for Langley and we are really thrilled to be part of it! Happy to answer any questions specifically about K or 1st grade.
