[quote=Anonymous]We are a former SSSAS family, so clearly I am biased vs the school, but I don't think your only choices should be GM or SSSAS. We went slightly further for a much stronger k-12 and only regret not leaving earlier. Ironically, the bus system where we are makes the commute easier for all of us, despite the school not being in Alexandria, and the tuition is actually lower than SSSAS. I think a lot of Alexandria families settle for SSSAS or get sucked in b/c their neighbors go there. It was a slightly rough transition out b/c our kids were far behind in language arts and foreign language and just general writing (they were ok in math). Our current school has no bullying, no busy work, way less tech dependency in the lower grades, stronger teachers, better music, and just generally seems to be a better education. The college placements are a lot stronger, too. If you are considering SSSAS, definitely look at the other privates in the area.[/quote]
