Parent: St. John's Episcopal School focuses on high academic standards but also creates a safe and loving environment for all children. My children have been attending for several years now and has have been attending St. John's since Preschool. They enjoy going to school. The faculty and staff are wonderful, and the leadership makes this school exceptional. St. John's implements technology so learning is actually fun. Students use Chromebooks, enjoy a STEM class, and have a media technology class. At the same time, children also learn traditional values, they still learn to write in cursive and learn their multiplication table. They are taught to love their neighbors through service projects and other community activities. St. John's also has a new playground and a sports field where children can play during recess. This school is truly an Incredible school, and I highly recommend it!... Read 17 reviews

Parent: Sidwell has provided my children with an exceptional academic experience emphasizing critical thinking and problem solving, writing and communications, and quantitative reasoning. The workload has been substantial at times, but always enriching and interesting (i.e., rarely if ever busywork) and will fully prepare students for the rigors they'll experience in college and beyond. Moreover, Sidwell has done a great job of developing my children as well informed, highly engaged, and socially conscious citizens. Strongly recommend!... Read 72 reviews

Parent: Pinecrest is an absolutely amazing school! We are in our third year and are so happy to be part of such a wonderful school community. The love of learning and joy is seen everyday in the interactions the Head of School, staff, teachers, and enrichment teachers have with students and parents. We truly appreciate that each child is valued for his/her individuality and are supported academically, socially, and emotionally. DEIB is a core value of Pinecrest and all are welcome and celebrated. Class sizes are small and intimate. We appreciate the flexibility offered in learning with classes often held outside and focuses in the areas of STEAM, music, and project based learning. The teachers know every student, not just the ones in his/her classes. Individual class teachers are easy to communicate with and very responsive to parents and students.  Communication from the Head of School is excellent, detailed, and consistent.  Importantly, our child is thriving! We highly recommend Pinecrest!... Read 3 reviews
