My daughter goes 2nd grade at Pinnacle Academy.She very happy and learn well.Her teacher Ms.Richardson loves what she does and it is realy important. You can ask and wait so many things from school but you can be sure you will be find confidence sincerity and happiness from Pinnacle Academy.The first highlights of the school of mathematics and science education. It is very important to help students with extra after school classes. A school where you can find family peace with its experienced staff. Good luck Pinnacle Academy family.. I know they deserve more..

My daughter and son both go to the palm tree school and what an amazing school it truly is. The teachers, staff and main office Focus so much on the children to ensure they become the best leaders with the best of manners as well as teaching them the sweetens of Islam. A school that I am very proud to have my own kids in. From the summer school program to the full time school and even the after school program have transformed my children to well manner and joyful kids to have. Mashallah!

Green Hedges offers a careful, kind, wonderful education for each child enrolled there. We love this low-profile treasure tucked into the tree lined streets of Vienna.

IM LIKE HEY WHATS UP HELLO

We attend Kay School as part of their 'Before School' care program. Their teachers are genuinely caring and nurturing, and the kids look forward to attending every morning. We're so tickled to have found this option for our kids. We couldn't ask for more in a program.

I am a TRUE BELIEVER of the program at this school; because they provide a warm, loving and caring environment where your child can feel comfortable and safe. They encourage children to discover new knowledge, to create and work out relationships with others; therefore, openly allowing their students (with guidance) to express and acquire new skills and interests with one another !!! The teachers at this school are so caring and nice to kids. My son is very happy here and has made tremendous progress.

Sending my two kids to ACE is by far the most correct decision we have made. The kids excelled academically, and the teachers have instilled a love of learning in those young children. The teachers are loving and caring, and as parents, we don't worry about kids when they go to ACE because we know they are in good hands. Excellent school for young kids!

My friend goes there

I toured today with my wife and son and we were blown away. For a brief moment, I actually wished I was back in middle school again.

My daughter, Tina, has been attending LePort Montessori (formerly Boyd) since she was 2 years old. I was reluctant to put her in pre-school so young, but our nanny fell ill for a while and we were forced to look for other options. Tina started in the toddler room with Ms. Katherine's and much to my amazement she had her potty-trained in less than a month! Wow! Ms. Katherine understood all my concerns and was very attentive to Tina's needs and re-assuring me that all was well (and indeed it was). A year later, Tina was moved to Ms. AJs pre-school class (ages 3-6), where she thrived and came home every day with a huge smile on her face. She was there for a year before Ms. AJ transferred to another Montessori location. At that time, Tina was moved to Ms. Melissa's class, where she again started to exceed our expectations for academic achievement and social development. Ms. Melissa H. has one of the mostly lovely demeanors I've ever come across in education -- so patient and calm. Tina missed Ms. AJ a lot in the beginning, but took to Ms. Melissa right away and absolutely loves her. Tina just turned 5 and will be wrapping up her time at Montessori soon to start Kindergarten in the fall. Our experience with the school, teachers and administrators, even other parents, has been whole-heartedly positive. The front-office staff (Chif, Ishwa, Sudeepa) is super professional and very personable. They have always answered my questions promptly and supported any requests I've ever had, including things like checking on my daughter during nap time to make sure she was actually napping - that, and much more. And the head of school, Nancy Kaplan, is a gem, through and through - really cares for kids and her staff. Deeply invested in the school's success - not just going through the motions. Overall, Tina has truly grown a love of learning and socializing that I think will be invaluable for her though-out her academic career. The school has been very accommodating to all my requests for food restrictions (ie minimal sugar, nothing artificial, organic whenever possible), and I observed that they do the same for other children too so there is a consideration and consistency that's not always easy to find in public education. The after-care has been phenomenal too - very loving and caring staff. Tina adores Ms. Balinda and Ms Maria, her after-care teachers. My husband and I have also observed the level of dedication from the head of the aftercare program, Mr. Sam - super kind fellow and really understands kids, not harsh or rushed as a lot of adults are. Just calm and understanding. In addition, the school has been fantastic about offering after-school activities, like ballet, yoga, and soccer. The cost is reasonable for the level of quality in the education, staff, and experience, but it's still a Montessori and a bit more expensive than other private pre-schools or elementary schools (though absolutely well worth it). We live in an excellent school district in Fairfax County so we will be sending Tina to our local public elementary school for K-6, but its a bit heart-breaking as I know she won't get nearly the kind support or independent learning she's gotten from LePort. Still, I'm deeply grateful for the 3 years we did get to keep her in the LePort Montessori program as she's happy, bright, and confident - such a great start for a smart little girl. And my husband and I know that the foundation Tina built at Leport will server her well though-out her education in the coming years. I highly recommend this school. It's truly an exceptional place, with amazing people.
