[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What non-religious private schools do UP families consider? (Vast majority seem to go Catholic or to the Friends school in College Park.) Do any families send their kid to the more "elite" private schools in DC or Montgomery County, and use the provided bus transportation?[/quote] We're non-religious and send our kids to Friends Community School. We've found no conflict between our secular values and those of the school. There are a good number of atheists and agnostics among the teachers, students, parents (many of whom work in the sciences), and administration. FCS is a comfortable, diverse, respectful, and welcoming community. We know some families nearby (in Hyattsville) who send their kids to Sidwell and Maret. The commute sounds dreadful, though, and only seems to work because a parent works near the school destination.[/quote]
