[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the many comments both positive and negative. We are also looking at The Heights and wondering what are the differences? Our family is not from MD and we do not have school contacts there but do not want that to be a barrier if people are inclusive. We have work in MD so the drive is okay. Our son is pretty sporty but is also into art so a mix. How does that work? He is on track with academics but we are fine with classes together with a variety of learners. We always hope for inclusion and tend to do harder math problems at home etc etc. The experience is what we are looking for. FYI I really impressed with the eighth grade video--it was really nice and to see such a sweet mix of kids so happy. They really do look happy and you can't make that stuff up so well done whoever made it.[/quote]

40% of the kids at the Heights are from VA and there is bus service to the Heights from VA.

The lower school 3-5 is amazing. The kids do lots of out door education, class size 12-15. Boys are not just allowed but encouraged to get dirty, climb a tree and work out their own problems. If a kid is not integrating well with the crowd, the teacher will advise him and help him in that area.

in 6th the academics are very hard and kids are more than prepared for HS. There is an added benefit that you don't have to apply out for HS if you don't want to but if you do apply out most kids are accepted where ever they apply.

Since there is a high school, kids that are capable can take HS math. They will not accept a kid into HS math because his parents are pushing him but they will if they see he is advanced in that area.

The Heights and Mater Dei are very different in feel. [/quote]
