[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe St. Andrew's actually was founded by families who had the same desire as OP.   Most of the time the reverse commute to the main campus isn't bad -- actually, from the Bethesda bus stop it is downright pleasant because the bus goes out Bradley to Seven Locks.   From Chevy Chase, it can take as long or longer to get to some of the downtown schools.

Nope - founded by families who founded Grace Episcopal Day School in Silver Spring, which then expanded into Kensington. They founded SAES when parents wanted to expand to HS. SAES as it exists now eventually absorbed St. Francis Episcopal in Potomac as its lower campus.

All that being said, plenty of families that attend SAES live in NWDC. But most live in MoCo, so playdates or extracurriculars can be a schlep.[/quote]

Actually, you're both right.  Isabelle Schussler and other founders were involved at St. Pats, WES, Grace to create co-ed Episcopal choices.  The founding documents specifically point to that need to serve all those schools as an upper school.

We commute, and the bus makes it easy to get to from Spring Valley.  (Buses pick up from in front of Wagshals or Strosniders or residential Chevy Chase).  You need to move quickly if you hope to be considered for Upper School.  Recent campus improvements have increased demand if the number of visiting families wandering around is any indication.
