[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - yes, I meant "outdoors" in the sense of being in nature, not just outside the classroom. Thanks for the suggestions! What about Lowell makes it outdoor focused? [/quote]

Lowell is a great program, and a good choice if you are looking for a progressive school.  I wouldn't describe it as "outdoor focused", however.

I really don't think there's a program in DC proper that is similar to Burgundy.  If you're willing to go to the Hill, Burgundy has a bus.[/quote]

Agree, I would not say Lowell is "outdoor focused" but the kids do spend a lot of time outside and the grounds are beautiful with a creek running through it. There's going to be a new primary school playground built in the back and a new field where one of the unused buildings was demolished. So there's going to be even more outdoor space. Rock Creek Park is around the corner so the kids will take little nature trips based on what they are studying (butterflies, seasons, etc). Outdoor recess is twice a day.[/quote]
