[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look for a religious school with a uniform requirement - Catholic, Episcopalian, or Presbyterian tho NPS only goes to grade 5. Or go left - Waldorf or Oneness Family or Montessori. Good luck.[/quote]

Thanks!   That's what my instinct was.   [b]Either religious or granola. [/b] [/quote]

NP here -- Well, you're more realistic than I was -- my dream school was religious/spiritual [b]and[/b] granola.:)  So, you clearly get that within the parameters of DC independent schools and the crazy materialistic, status-conscious culture of this area generally, finding a place that has a more down-to-earth community is tough and a matter of relative judgment.  That said, I'd urge you to take a look at St. Andrew's.  Our DC is in the upper school there, and we really like the community and sense of values.  We've had 2 older kids at "fancier" independent schools in the area that talk the talk of humility and empathy, but are really about status, power and money.  St. Andrew's walks the walk.
