[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brookewood in Kensington is all girls 1-12. They would have or make a spot for your DD. Catholic but there are non-Catholic and non-Chritisian girls there. Racially diverse as well. More Latinas and AAs than Asian, but certainly not overwhelmingly white.

Brother school is Avalon in Gaithersburg. Similar “personality”.

The kids are outside a lot in all kinds of weather, which my child loved. Her science class was often held in the woods and stream.

Families ranged from big traditional Catholic ones with a SAHM to several single moms who WOH. Headmaster was political conservative, but there were liberal voices on faculty.

Very generous with FA and they ended up giving us uniforms.[/quote]

Avalon is heavily Catholic and they will take anyone as they have a lot of space.  Curriculum was not comparable to other schools and did not seem academically that strong.   They heavily pushed their religious view points and were pretty clear all others were wrong and they would try to convert.  They just moved but the school was rundown and pretty shabby given what they charge.[/quote]

That was not our experience at all.[/quote]
