[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in private school b/c of the huge class size in MoCo.  Having toured many schools, there are definitely quite a few boys proportionately in many of the privates, especially in the younger grades.  Obviously, not all are ADHD but I think parents realize the benefit of a small classrooms for kids that may be more socially immature or more rambunctious.

Many privates will accept a kid with ADHD but probably not what the private school forum refers to as the big 3 or big 5.  It definitely cannot hurt to call around to private schools that interest you for openings.

I would definitely suggest Auburn which has a specific program for kids with ADHD.  Lab also accepts kids with ADHD.  I would also say look into Harbor, Primary Day, Oneness, Lowell, Sheridan, or McLean, which are not specifically special needs schools but can be accommodating.[/quote]
I would consider Lab definitely. Not so sure about Oneness, my child goes there, and though it is a wonderful school, I don't think the teachers there have enough training in special education to send a child with a known issue like ADHD there. Also, they do expect a lot in terms of self control and the ability to follow directions, sit still etc even at the pre-k and kindergarten level. Not sure if those are issues for your sons specifically, but wanted to pass this info along. [/quote]
