[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - my partner and I both feel that a lengthy commute would sort of go against the outdoor philosophy we are going for so we're only looking in DC proper. We purchased a home in Forrest Hills adjacent to the Park (moving in May from the Bay area) and we're hoping for something close by. I'm a little surprised that there is not such a school in relatively close proximity! Definitely sounds like an opportunity for the right educator.[/quote]

OP, Sheridan's head of school came from the Bay Area a couple of years ago.   I believe her previous school was in Marin County but I may have that wrong.

Can you give an example of a SF-area school that does have the outdoor 'focus' you're talking about?  That might help.

Altho, as a practical matter, if you're living in Forest Hills and don't want to commute (understandable) too far for school, your options are rather limited IF outdoor focus /envt'l ed is truly the priority.

I too moved here from the West Coast, and my children attend Sheridan precisely because I wanted to capture what I could of the SF/Portland/Seattle ethos.   whatever that means  :-)

Welcome to DC.  You'll LOVE living that close to Rock Creek Park[/quote]
