[quote=Anonymous]I have no knowledge of the middle school I'm afraid. GIlmant may not be the easiest school to start in at middle school for a boy who isn't into sports - I believe that the boys have to play some team sports.  St Paul's might be another option - I beleive that it's getting stronger with the adoption of the IB program in the upper school.  I suspect your best bet for financial aid may be Park or Friends though I really have no knowledge of this.  McDonogh is also a strong school, but very into sports - more so than Gilman in our experience.  Also check out Loyola, which is a strong boys' Catholic school that starts in 6th grade.  Another thought is St James in Monkton (don't know where you're located) - it's a strong K-8 school that probably loses some kids in middles school.  It's very nice and places kids at all area privates for upper school.  I don't think it's sporty at all.  Also, Cambridge School -I don't know much about it - but it's k-8 Christian school with a classical curriculum.  Considerably less expensive.  
I know that in the city if your kid qualifies for CTY classes, he can take them in lieu of regular classes during the school day and the school pays.  Not ideal, but it might help keep your kid engaged.  GOod luck.  [/quote]
