They claim they do anyway. Our experience there was actually horrific.

The Sycamore School in Rosslyn was created for exactly that kind of student. Very small, tons of attention and support for every student.

They are having an open house Saturday morning 10-12 if you can make it. Sounds like it could be a very good fit.

If you can't, do contact the head of school for a meeting about your son.

It would be better to find a school that meets your kid’s needs. They are going to have so many demands on their time outside of school already, with homework, sports, theater, or whatever extra curriculars they are into—especially if their homework may take them longer than typical to complete. Don’t make your kid get outside help after school or on the weekends if you don’t have to.

Well, New School is tiny but meets the criteria. Field is a good fit but further. Flint Hill isn't far. Burke, SAES, Bullis all have good executive functioning support.
