[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barnesville has a strong emphasis on a supportive social environment, and in the lower grades definitely spends classroom time on social conduct. I wouldn't say that they have organized games at recess so much but the teachers who work recess do make sure the kids have opportunities to be included in play, plus there are other activities throughout the school day that could be described as structured group recreation. And the academics are very strong; we've been very pleased with them and the graduates (it's K-8) get good placements. If you're in NW DC it's undoubtedly too far for you, or in Bethesda (excepting North Bethesda past the beltway). You could probably do it if you're out that far or further, as the commute is against rush hour traffic.[/quote] For what it's worth, we're at Barnesville precisely because of the goal of combining challenging academics with social supportiveness. We couldn't be happier with it.[/quote]
