[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're moving to the area next year for work in the tech sector and are considering private school for DD for 11th and 12th grades. She's very academically minded and highly motivated, but we want to avoid a pressure cooker atmosphere, because she's already putting more than enough pressure on herself. She's interested in humanities rather than STEM.

Any recommendations in Fairfax, Loudoun or Prince William Counties for a private high school that's not obsessed with academic achievement or social status, yet has a strong academic program and might admit someone in those grades? She's sociable and well rounded, so a healthy social scene would be a plus, but the sports programs won't matter because she's not interested in playing sports. [/quote]

You are seeking a unicorn. All rigorous local schools - public (e.g., TJ) or private - are pressure cookers. [/quote]

I disagree.  I think the Catholic schools here offer opportunities for rigorous classes without being real pressure cookers.  [/quote]
