[quote=Anonymous]Did has attended McLean from 6th - now 8th - it has been a wonderful experience for her. Reason for switching from mcps to McLean was due to some anxiety issues. McLean has built an excellent foundational educating for her and she is thriving. As the kids progress through MS the work get harder and the teachers are tougher - all in preparation for HS. Less hand holding and more attention on forcing kids to take charge of their own path. Definitely teaching the kids to advocate for themselves. Teachers are easy to talk to.

MS was tough (socially, emotionally) on all of us when we went to school, it still is and always will be. Occasionally a teacher will trip up (happens to all of us) but I have found that they are always open to suggestions and input. Sometimes these kids need additional help from tutors or other specialist - it is an individualized thing. Can't expect the teachers to be the end all for each child. Sadly it had been my observation that it is sometimes the parents that are the issue - some totally expect to write a big check, drop the kid off at the door and have all the issues handled/solved by the school - reality is life doesn't work that way.

I went with my gut feeling and enrolled my child in McLean. We struggle with the high tuition, but it was the right choice and would do it again. [/quote]
