[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, many private schools have a lower tolerance for problem behavior than do public schools. But he may indeed benefit from smaller class sizes. Maybe a parochial school? [/quote]

In theory maybe parochial could be good? But we're not really religious and he's not shy about expressing religious skepticism.

But the issue is we can't just stick him into a random private school that seems good in theory and then have them throw him out when he acts up. At least public schools can't do that. We need a school that feels like it can deal with a kid like this. [/quote]

I would advise staying far away from parochial schools.  They are not good for boys or any child that does not behave or does not fit their mold.[/quote]

Episcopal schools would be “parochial”.  Most Episcopal schools are religion-light, odd but true.  There are several in Virginia which are small and have good support structures for students.  If OP’s DC is being bullied or the root cause is school environment, they might be a good option.[/quote]
