[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, the majority of independent private schools are in NW DC and then close over the border in Maryland (Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac). Most in McLean go to public school. There is Potomac, but it’s not really an area where you move for private school. The DMV has an intensity probably only rivaled by NYC. Even then, it’s different. DC is where all the most competitive student strivers from around the country find themselves. It’s both wonderful and stressful. I’m in the Chicago area now, and it’s SO laid back by comparison. Sometimes I enjoy it annd other times I miss the heat. No one is questioning the quality of the school lunch or angling for admission to top universities abroad. If you move to the DMV prepare to enroll your children in RSM and AoPS, join travel teams, ensure that they will be bilingual, travel extensively, and start organizing opportunities for published scientific research by high school. Welcome:-)[/quote]
