[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these schools just VA schools that happen to be in the DC area?  In other words, are any of them of a high caliber that supports the tuition?  Are they really better than public?[/quote]

SSSAS parent here, I don't understand the first sentence.  IMO, many of these VA schools are on par with DC private schools.  We live in NOVA for tax reasons.  I am very happy with our choice of address.  Picking a private school is a very individual and personalized decision, no two families pick for exactly the same reason.  For me, I wanted a traditional, structured, Episcopal education, which narrowed it down to SSSAS, St. Patricks, or Beauvoir.  We are a low maintenance kind of family, we are not over scheduled with activities, and prefer to spend more time at home with play dates, low key downtime, etc.  SOOOO for us, commute time is a BIG factor.  Hence, SSSAS is way more convenient geographically than the DC schools.

But that is just us.  I wanted private. The Alexandria city schools do not compare to the privates IMO, so yes it's worth the money for us.  But you are a different family with different values and different children.  What works for us may not work for you.[/quote]
