Because you’re new here?

I do not know why.

I am convinced there is sufficient demand for an additional K-12 private school or even 7-12 private school between Oakton/Fairfax City and the Loudoun County line. At this point, sufficient land for another school would be expensive and hard to find.

Flint Hill, Potomac, New School of VA, SSSAS (Episcopalian; the religion is a fairly light touch), approximately in order of increasing distance from you.

Agree Flint Hill woukd be the obvious choice, but there are at least two secular K-8s in that direction, Green Hedges and Edlin.
Also The New School of No. Va. is 6-12, but it's further from you than Flint Hill.

+1 Flint Hill. Their middle school is especially impressive and starts in seventh grade so it's a good entry year.

Flint Hill is one option. They have some bus service as an option.

Confirming - do you want a school that will carry you from 7-12, or are you looking for 7-8, and then 9-12?

We have an upper‑elementary FCPS kid; looking to switch to private for 7–12. Prefer progressive/less religious but open to anything. We’re on the Vienna/Reston border, so hoping to keep the commute reasonable. Would love recommendations or experiences.
