[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all,

If you are looking for a great school where the head and assistant head of DOCTORATES in education and the tuition is HALF what you pay(ed), take a look at Christ Episcopal School in Rockville.  They have been doing amazing things for their students including a ground breaking curriculum delivery system called LIFT they created with Johns Hopkins University.  I mean, Johns Hopkins working with a school and the tuition is just 16K?  Give me a break.

They don't have the beautiful fields and state-of-the-art observatory that wow a lot of parents and convince them that the tuition is worth it...what they do have is skilled, master teachers from Preschool - grade 8 and ALL of the students matriculate to top high schools like Georgetown Prep, Visitation, Maret, NCS, St. Albans just to name a few...I name these because these seem to be the schools everyone is stuck on.

Another point, why does everyone assume the highest priced school is the best?  It's simply not true. [/quote]

The only problem with CES is that it is BORING and the kids are not happy. One family ran from there to public and the children finally feel free from an overly restricted environment. They now threaten the kids with "going back to private" if they don't behave. The word Episcopal is deceiving, it can feel like a 1950s Catholic school. [/quote]
