PP, OP here again.  We are eager to learn more about Nysmith.

Can you share what the social life is like?  I imagine the schools has many commuter kids.  How often do kids get together for play dates after school?  Is there a close-knit parent community?  Are kids who live farther away less apt to be part of the social life of the school?

We will have a significant commute.  [/quote]

OP, PP from overseas. While I guess most families live nearby, I met families commuting from Bethesda, Arlington, Alexandria and DC proper. DS had his first playdate three weeks after the school starts. He got quickly involved in activities with school mates (boys and girls) for which they had to meet regularly during weekends - so our schedule was packed. We also had quite a commute but were willing to do the extra mile (literally) to facilitate DS's social life. I guess we were not different from the other parents as some also drove a handful number of times to our place for playdates. The PTA is pretty active - but I was not involved at all due to time constraints. [/quote]

Thanks for this information, PP.  — OP[/quote]
