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 52 reviews

Senior: Covenant is an excellent choice for a college preparing, God honoring, and community based school. It hosts an impressive faculty who care deeply for the student’s success and all strive for a close knit community. They offer a wide range of classes and the class sizes are small so you can get personalized relationships with the teachers and form tight bonds. Overall my experience at covenant was a delightful experience that brought me closer to God and challenged me to achieve excellence in my studies. I highly recommend Covenant high school for any high schooler wanting a higher standard of education.... Read 40 reviews

Parent: GHA is an amazing place for early childhood/elementary education. We have been members of the school since 2015, and have loved every moment here! GHA has a great faculty who is able to utilize the natural surroundings and modern technology to provide a unique academic experience. My daughter's teacher told us she had found an interesting object on the playground during recess. The kids were interested in researching the item, so upon return to the classroom, the teacher and assistant pulled out the microscopes and held an impromptu science lab! GHA has talented Specialists in Spanish, Music, Art and P.E. My six year old knows about Picasso and Modigliani and how to recognize traits specific to their work. They have Specialist classes 2-3 times a week for each discipline! GHA offers enrichment activities to include: cross country, track, soccer, yoga and robotics to name a few. There is also a licensed child care on site that offers full-time or before and after care.... Read 5 reviews

Parent: After almost 6 years I can still say that we are so blessed top be at Lighthouse. We are so thankful for how COVID was handled so our kids were able to be in person in October 2020 instead of 2021. We are so incredibly thankful for The Learning Center, my daughter who struggles with reading has overcome so much and is thriving. She enjoying reading now instead of crying, because she has her "tools", what a BLESSING! TLC and the wonderful LCS teachers are amazing. There has been some growing pains due to the high enrollment, but that goes to show what a great school this is.

Parent: My husband and I are very involved with our son's education, we tour and even attended many of the most prestigious school in Gig Harbor. We were so disappointed that a couple of school that we thought was suitable for him didn't met our expectation. We enrolled our son to Hosanna 1 month late, because we just came back from our vacation and our plan is to continue to home school. But our son crave social interaction with children, so we went and tour Hosanna and immediately fell in love with it. We were concern that he would be behind or would feel weird on his first day of school since he is 4 weeks late. But his teacher Mrs. King is so kind and a wonderful teacher that our son felt welcomed immediately, and his classmates was all introduced to him which made him comfortable right away. He did wonderful and was so excited to come back the next day. Thank you Mrs. King and Hosanna Christian School. My son said he likes it because none of the kids hit or push or says bad words....

Review your school
Alum: I enjoyed the diversity of people at Kennedy (different socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, cultures). The amount of athletic programs and clubs offered were also substantial. The overwhelming majority of teachers actually cared about your success in their subject and would help when needed. The students at this school were very inclusive and welcoming, especially as someone who was not there freshman year and transferred in. One main criticism I had was a lack of AP courses, as when I attended Kennedy there were maybe only 6 or 7 AP courses available to students and I would have liked more options. An update to some of the school's aesthetics would also be needed, as it kind of resembles a jail and the inside is full of very mundane colors, but it is an old building so I understand. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Kennedy, especially compared to the previous high school I transferred from. I would recommend to students looking for a "traditional" high school experience....

Senior: Madeira's mission of "launching women who change the world" guides every aspect of this unique educational experience. I am extremely grateful for my education and appreciate the environment Madeira fosters to make every student thrive. From small, personalized class with the modular schedule, to a tight community of both students and faculty, to worldly experiences, Madeira prepares us for the future that we will inherit. Of particular note is the Co-Curriculum program that gives us real world experiences each year -- something that a teenager cannot find anywhere else. It is extremely impressive to be able to go to a college interview or job interview and say you have worked on Capitol Hill! I think Madeira is made up of small moments - traditions, laughing in the library, baking with your teachers - that become impactful, life-changing moments at such a pivotal age. This personal attention gives us the confidence and the leadership skills to take on any issue. Life changing!... Read 101 reviews
