[quote=Anonymous]“Best” is subjective. Even the list of “Top 3” schools in metro DC is frequently contested here at DCUM. So I can’t speak to “best”. A colleague has DC at St Martin’s school in Annapolis and is happy with both the academics and social environment. Their web site suggests their curriculum is reasonable - no hint of the widely discredited Lucy Calkins’ Readers Workshop/Writers Workshop for example. Their reading program reportedly is Phonics-centered with explicit study of roots, suffixes, and such, so that part looks very good. They appear to explicitly teach spelling and grammar, which also is good. It is a K-8 school, not K-12, so one would need to go through outplacement at some point. It probably would be worth at least a look-see for someone exploring school options near Annapolis.[/quote]
