Hi -- We just found out that we are moving to the DC area around July due to work. We have decided on MoCo as our new home base but are totally overwhelmed with looking for a school and housing. Right now, we are prioritizing school then will start a housing search based on that. Just a rental to give us some flexibility. Neither my husband or I, nor any of our family members know anyone in the area so there is no one to ask about schools and homes. We are hoping to have a shortlist of about 8? 10? schools that we can visit. Any suggestions or advice will be highly appreciated!

Our son will be entering 1st grade. He is a very bright boy but socially awkward. He has been diagnosed with selective mutism and is most comfortable in small groups. We are looking for a co-ed school with small class sizes that has strong arts and academic programs. Since it is so late in the application process, we will definitely be full pay. We cannot afford schools like Norwood. Our budget would be about $10K a year, give or take. Our daughter is a rising 3rd grader and achieved highly gifted scores on the WISC-IV. We are looking at public school for her but, again, are not familiar with any in MoCo. The ideal scenario is find a school fitting for our son in a school zone that has a public ES that would be challenging for our gifted daughter.

Thank you so much for your time in reading this![/quote]
