Parent: As a teacher who has taught 12 years in a public school setting, I would have never imagined choosing private school for my sons. After a tough year in kindergarten, my oldest son struggled and didn’t show much academic progress due to large class size. After much thought, I realized that a smaller class size is what he needed to cultivate the best learning environment. After researching all the available private schools here in Southern Frederick County, I was dismayed by the few options nearby. After thoughtful consideration, Barnesville fulfilled all of my expectations as a teacher parent. It provided small class sizes, a great amount of time spent outside, many cross-curricular learning opportunities, and a strong community. The teachers are extra caring and it was evident during our time distance learning. If you are looking for a school that offers meaningful relationships where your child is given many opportunities to grow and learn, Barnesville is for you!... Read 13 reviews

Junior: Coming from a different middle school to Saint Stephen's and Saint Agnes School (SSSAS) for ninth grade, I found the transition to be quite easy and there are a lot of different opportunities to get to know other students before school starts. My favorite part about SSSAS has been the opportunities that come with a flexible schedule and a multitude of different elective classes including art, music, design, technology, journalism, health, robotics, and STEM classes on top of the core classes. I had the chance to try different classes and take risks to find things that I am interested in. These opportunities, that come with a small size school, extend beyond the classroom to sports, clubs, and leadership positions and help to turn students into well rounded people that are able to make lasting connections with a diverse range of people. I am grateful for the guidance that the college counselors have given me that begin well before students even begin thinking about colleges.... Read 142 reviews

Junior: Nansemond-Suffolk Academy has been my home for over 6 years. When I first came there in 6th grade, I was extremely nervous about entering a new environment where I didn't know anyone, but on my first day they welcomed me with open arms and the rest was history!... Read 65 reviews
