[quote=Anonymous]OP, when you say "progressive", what do you mean? Some posters seem to think you mean "liberal" as opposed to "conservative" from the standpoint of the political beliefs of the staff and families. But the more typical use of the word in education is to describe the learning style -- i.e. a progressive teaching style and curriculum. Broadly, you will find that most of the non-Catholic well-ranked DC-area schools lean progressive in their style of education. Some, like GDS, are highly progressive. From what I've heard of my Baltimore-area friends' privates, the privates there tend to lean more traditional in teaching style. But you will probably not find independent schools that aren't at least somewhat progressive. If you want drill-and-kill, you are better off going to public.[/quote]
