We toured in 2021 and I really liked the school and the director. Unfortunately, they don't have a ton of outdoor space and a lot of the more interesting class choices aren't in the Middle School (only in the High School), so DC elected not to apply.

I did a tour of the New School in 2019. It's a small hidden school with almost no administrative staff. I was impressed overall by the self-direction of the kids at the school. If you have a self-motivated and academically inclined kid, who can make this commute work, I would stop by and tour.

From the posts and the school website I kinda get the vibe it may attract more "offbeat boys" than otherwise, and if that's accurate it would not be a good fit for my straight-arrow DD. But we'll probably check it out in a couple years when DD is old enough.
Thanks- I did try searching it here and didn't come up with much that was specific to it. Maybe I did something wrong and I'll try again.
Use Google, not the search bar on DCUM. In the Google search bar, type this: site:dcurbanmom.com "the new school of northern virginia"

For thirty years, The New School has been an innovative and student-centered voice in education. It’s not easy to sum up a school as unique as ours.
I do not see other locations on the site... is it new to our area? I thought I had heard off all of the schools in NoVa.
