[quote=Anonymous]We would never have moved to private if not for covid. During summer 2020, however, it became clear that FCPS was both not opening and not developing an online curriculum, so we chose a small independent near the house. I didn't even expect them to stay open all school year, I just wanted a reasonable online experience once they had to close. (As it turned out, they didn't close.)

My kid has blossomed there, especially with the excellent music and performing arts programs: at the local public, the classroom instruction was good but the specials were a sad joke. Our advanced math is on pace with FCPS's AAP math; language arts is tailored to ability (both up and down); history and science lessons are paired with relevant field trips. Kid has had foriegn language the whole time instead of waiting until 4th to start. It costs us more than is comfortable and socially it's too small, but we'll stay. Kid has maintained close ties with friends from public so that helps with the social mixing and staying grounded.[/quote]
