But if you have a kid who is inquisitive and engaged and isn't looking for the typical high school experience, it is a wonderful option.
Curious what you mean that it is ‘not a mainstream school.’ Os it therapeutic? We are considering it

Does the school have learning support for ADHD and/or a mild LD?

My teen is starting there in the fall. I’ll check back to report. We are very excited. He did several shadow days and loved it. Seems like a great school for academically focused quirky kids.

Anyone with recent experience at The New School of Northern VA? We're especially interested in experiences in their high school program.
