[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, finally getting a chance to check back. Thanks to everyone so much for the wealth of information! we have been looking at your suggestions. We are a little nervous about religious schools as we are lesbians and I am a doctor for Planned Parenthood. So Catholic schools are definitely out...not sure about Episcopal schools. We are looking at the Kensington, Takoma Park, Silver Spring areas so far. We do want to be close-ish to DC if possible so that my wife can see the kids at dinner and help with homework and such. Everyone has really nailed the requirements we have--we love the idea of a progressive school and have scanned the websites for Lowell, Sheridan and Green Acres. Our daughter would love those schools but she would likely break there way too easily, and we have the same concerns of course about publics--the independence issue is huge. If she were jostled wrong on the playground it could be a major incident and that is traumatic not only for our daughter but also for her classmates and teachers.

However we will be looking closely at the two publics listed above--calling them is on my to-do list for Monday! I am also planning to call WES, SSFS and...what was it called? SSESS? I can't keep up with the acronyms ;)

thanks again to everyone. we have upped our housing budget btw to 3000-3500 :)[/quote]

If you are looking at Kensington, the Stephen Knolls p.s. focuses on kids with physical disabilities:

A lot of the kids have walkers etc. without cognitive delays.

Yes, Sandy Springs Friends School is SSFS.  [/quote]
