[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came across this thread and while it is an older one I thought I would share that I would wait on Langley until the current construction project is completely finished before applying.  I also think that 5th grade, maybe 4th grade, and up are good, the lower grades are average at best.

There were also almost 20 new hires for this year, including the head of school, head of middle school and numerous teachers.  The director of admissions quit over the summer.   The head of lower school has only been there since 2019. For a school with an enrollment around 500 that is a lot of movement, as a comparison our local public school had around 8 new hires this year with an enrollment around 700.[/quote]

Longtime Langley family here. While no school is perfect and I’ve certainly had my issues with some facets at Langley, much of this needs context. Dr. Scully our head of school who recently left, did so while giving nearly two years of notice and completing her contract. She returned to NCS where she had been a middle school head and is now head of school. Mrs. Laurent our former Lower school head of many years, left as a result of the death of her husband and wanting to live closer to her sons in California. Our middle school head Nola-rae Cronan who was only there for two years also moved west when her husband moved positions. That one was disappointing and unexpected I’ll admit. Finally, our admissions head was a Scully hire and she announced her departure well before the end of the school year. Her Langley student graduated last year as well. It’s a lot of turnover on paper but the culture and community at Langley among parents, faculty and staff is strong. The school effectively managed Covid and was a pioneer in getting students back on campus in Sept 2000 with weekly testing. The new crossroads building looks to be incredible. It’s a great school and community. [/quote]

Thank you for explaining.  I'm a former parent and faculty member who still has a soft spot in my heart for Langley and the foundation it gave my children.  And me as a young mom.  The intentional smear and innuendo by previous posters is unnecessary.[/quote]
