Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings...Read 43 Reviews

Alum: Pana Senior High has an incredible staff of teachers who are constantly going out of their way to help students succeed. Nearly every teacher in this building would stay for hours after school to help students with projects, papers, and assignments to help ensure success and prepare the students for college. The dual credit course options are amazing because I was able to enter my first year of college as a sophomore due to my credit hours...Read 29 Reviews

Junior: My experience at FBCA has been nothing short of fulfilling. The education is impeccable, and the staff and students are some of the best people I have ever come in contact with. Each student is offered very close relationships with the teachers, creating a sense of comfort in their everyday learning journey. ...Of course, it is vital for a Christian school to implement God into the students' lives. FBCA is ran off of straight faith and prayer. Our school nearly faced closing our doors due to financial instability; but, through prayer and generous hearts, our facility was able to keep going! We now operate as a non-denominational school, known as Faith Bible Christian Academy...Read 7 Reviews

Alum: MAPS is a small, private school located within my church. The personal help and relationships that are formed in this school are life changing. While sports have been an issue from the start because of the small attendance numbers, they did not have any while I was in school. However, as the years and students begin to grow, my brothers are now given the opportunity to co-op with surrounding schools to be involved in sports. As MAPS continues to grow, the more personal and college-ready they make sure their students are. I am very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to have attended MAPS...Read 1 Review

Parent: We love Ancona. From the teachers, counselors, to administrators they all care about children. The WHOLE child, the mind, body, and spirit is cared for by this community. They build character and instill lessons that last. The parent community is amazing and you can be as involved as you want or have the time to be. The Montessori classrooms are full of beauty and the outdoor education is second to none. With green space in the middle of the city, how can you not love this place? Chickens, (maybe goats soon), fruits and vegetables, growing and learning how to make healthy life decisions. We’ve been there for 4 years and are happy with our decision to send our child there. Excellent education and positive life lessons. Learning can and should be fun! My daughter loves her classmates, teachers, and can’t wait to go to school. Spanish, music, outdoor learning, library, creative movement, gym, art…I could go on forever. She’s only in 1st grade! Check it out!...Read 17 Reviews
