[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay in your pyramid through 6th and enter private for 7th. Steer clear of Langley School unless your child is questioning their gender identity. Langley has become woke beyond belief and the kids who are still busy being kids are either forced to go along with their agenda or end up leaving the school. Buyer beware.[/quote]

One vector that Langley differentiates on in the K-8 space is Social Emotional Learning which includes topics like gender identity in later years but also age appropriate discussions of self management, building relationships, diversity and understanding differences, etc. The last year or two, a vocal minority spoke out against this curriculum, which was highly valued by many families in the community. The same group of parents found fault with the head of school presenting diversity statistics on the school at a parents meeting, which made me often thing they just weren't in the right school. That group also cruelly gossiped that a couple older students who identified as non-binary, etc. had made decisions because of the schools SEL curriculum. A few of the families left last year for religious schools that are hopefully a better fit for them, as they always seemed to be angry. With any private, parents need to do their homework - Langley values diversity and their SEL focus is very clear. Perhaps because Youngkin sent his children to K-8 there, some people thought it was different. It is a lovely place with great teachers that really prepared my kids well for all aspects of high school (including building excellent relationships with a more diverse set of students) while providing leadership opportunities at a young age.[/quote]

Is it academic? Will kids be behind if they go to a public high school afterwards?

If they are indeed so liberal, it is funny that Youngkin sent his kids there.[/quote]

Langley has only gone ultra progressive the last couple of years . I doubt Youngkin would have enrolled his kids at the school  if the school had the same direction it has today.[/quote]
