St Louis is where kids who don't get aap go


I have three kids at St. Louis and I can’t think of any cases where this applies. Most of the non-military kids have been there since preschool or kindergarten.

Yes, strong math track. Science also strong.

I had two go through OLGC recently and I will say, it depends. Some subjects are much more rigorous than FCPS and others not as much.

A lot of that could also be attributed to having a lot of students with parents who have the ability to pay the higher tuition rate for the independent Catholic high schools.

The diocesan schools in NoVA follow the same curriculum, so I wouldn’t expect a wide variety between the K-8 ones. And I don’t think the high schools vary all that much either.

Piggybacking on a recent thread asking this question with respect to DC: which Catholic schools in NOVA are considered academically rigorous? Asking primarily about K-8, but would love to hear about high schools too.
