[quote=Anonymous]I am a current parent of a first grade student at SSSAS.  I am horrified to hear the PP's experience on the tour.  I can only speak for the experience of my familiy and my daughter.  My daughter is really, really happy there and is thriving emotionally, socially and academically.  She has made friends with children from diverse backgrounds and I may be clueless, but I don't even know which kids in her class belong to a country club (we don't).  In her K class last year, about one half of the children were non-white and I was pleased there was also a two mom family.  My first experience on the school grounds, I felt a bit nervous after reading postings on this board that made me uncomfortable with the culture at the school. For whatever reason, my husband and I were not "wowed" by our first tour of the school.  I felt very awed by other schools in the area (we didn't tour schools in Alexandria so I am making no direct comparisons to other schools mentioned in this thread).  But I have been really, truly impressed by how caring and attentive the faculty are, and how happy my daughter is every day to go to school.  I have met delightful families whose children attend many of the private and public schools in Alexandria.  For our family, the fact that we have a smaller house and live a simpler life does not seem to have any negative impact socially on my daughter.  It may be that she is still young and relatively oblivious but I feel comfortable down the road explaining to her the choices my husband and I have made.  I ask you to please share your comments with the Admissions Director so they can make whatever staffing/volunteer changes they need to so other families do not have the same awful experience you did!
