[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the lower school.  I find that Langley does differentiate pretty well, but isn't great with kids at extreme levels of the learning spectrum.  Starting in 5th grade, the curriculum gets pretty advanced, but parents looking for something like AAP in earlier grades will probably be frustrated.  Yes they differentiate but they can't do individual instruction for [b]the one child who is reading at an 8th grade level in 1st grade [/b]or doing multiplication in K.  The teaches are dedicated and the kids enjoy school and learn a lot.  As years progress writing becomes important and they stress strong writing and presentation skills.  By the time they hit middle school the program seems quite rigorous and they apparently do very well in exmissions.

They do well with offering a variety of specials, and have a great arts and music program and great facilities.  They are somewhat weak at sports because they lack a pool and tennis courts, but they do well enough with the sports they offer.  JV sports starts at 5th grade, which I think is earlier than Potomac.  Most kids play on area sports leagues or swim programs anyway if they are interested in those sports, so I'm not sure many people are looking for more sports to be offered through the school.

If you have one of these, there is no independent school in the DC area that you will be happy with.[/quote]
