[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be interested in any helpful intel on some of my down-ballot choices. Main priorities are just that a school is warm and child-friendly and not suuuper academic and just helps little kids learn to be people. Other priorities are quality aftercare and commute. We're on the Hill now but rent and can move easily (so also not tremendously concerned about after K), but school must be within at least a reasonable biking distance (&lt;10 mins) from a Metro. Because evidently I hate commuting more than I love my DC. ;)

Tell us more about Doar.  I live near there so I'm curious.

Did you visit Langley and if so what did you think?  We are IB for Langley and feel positive about it-- enough to shorten our list to 9 schools.

I am also curious about Langdon-- tell us about it.  Do you know anyone who goes there?

Ha, that's why I need all you lovely people! I haven't visited 7-12, just know them from Ed Fest, one friend with a current kid happily at J.O. Wilson, and scouring the forums. I figure if we get in somewhere down list we can visit then and see what we think, or stick with our current daycare, which is great.

I was pretty impressed with Doar at Ed Fest though, and was surprised that so few folks on here seem to consider it. My DD likes to sit at her grandma's office desk and play "doing work," so while I'm sure she'd love a more traditional school, I think the early exposure to the arts would be good to expand her horizons, foster creativity, blah blah. Same with Tyler, which I did tour. Everyone seemed mostly interested in the immersion program, but I thought the "traditional" arts integration program sounded terrific and really fun!

What do you love about Langley? Maybe I'll bump it up. :)[/quote]

I'm dying to know what Fancy Charter 1-3 are....[/quote]
