Private Schools

A great school with a great staff. Springdale Preparatory School is a new, a co-educational, boarding school and day school located on 21 acres in northern Maryland’s rolling countryside. A college preparatory school with a diverse student population from Maryland counties, other states across the country, and from all over the world, Springdale will offer rigorous academics while equipping all learners with the tools needed to meet all of life’s challenges. Springdale’s private school education will prepare students for enduring success beginning with a foundation of respect for other students, faculty, and the world around them. Students will develop strong relationships with each other and with faculty, who will help to shape them to become tomorrow’s leaders. Whether in the classroom, in the dormitory, on the athletic fields, students will experience learning through innovation and develop the skills needed to become lifelong learners who will make a difference. This high school boarding school focuses on such programs as its robotics and engineering laboratory, computer science and database systems laboratory, biology and environmental engineering laboratory, and its finance and mathematics school laboratory. We believe that college prep begins in middle school.

Best thing I ever did was starting my youngest here. She is enjoying everything from the academic part to chapel, singing,dancing, friends,campus!! I followed my heart even though I didn't think I had it in my budget. Great principal with heart, great teachers with heart. I have one regret : My older girl should have been here too. In St. John's it is pure joy in learning.

My children love GCDS. My daughter started before she was 2 and is in kindergarten now. We love the caring teachers. They have learned so much and had a great time doing it. The school's approach to putting kids in the classes that are right for them based on their maturity and skills rather than just their age is fantastic!

My daughter attended this school from 2nd grade thru 8 th grade amazing teachers and staff. I love LCS

I am looking for a new daycare for my 2.5 years old son. I heard from my friends that this school is very good. Does anybody know what the price is for 2.5 years old child per month?

Excellent location

We moved our son to St. John's in middle school and are thrilled with the decision. He is challenged academically, the teachers go above and beyond to provide enriched curriculum in addition to the class syllabus. The small class size is wonderful and the values taught allow the students to be comfortable in the school, thus enabling them to focus on the education and meaningful friendships with classmates.

I have an infant who is enrolled at Goddard and could not have chosen a better place for her (and us). The teachers go above and beyond to care for my daughter as if she was their own. They are empathetic, nurturing, kind and communicative. They take pride in their curriculum and even at 6 months, they have the kids very involved in learning and playing. They also take great pride in their classroom which is always clean and decorated with art work and seasonal decorations. If I have had any questions or issues, the Owner has always been incredibly responsive and receptive. It is a bit pricey, but it's well worth it to have your child in such great care.

I really enjoyed the camp - summer in sandy spring so much. Actually I do not know much about ssfs but I am sure that the this school & camp was AMAZING. The environment was perfect for the kids to play & study. Thank u for the all counselors who worked at the camp and thank u so much for the American kids who played with us. I am so sad that it was my last visit to America in childhood but thank you so much ssfs for gave me fantastic experience😃 - Korean student

i enjoy this school

Welcomed my child with open arms. I'm excited about what's in store for him during his time as a student at SCA!

Both of my children love it here. Can't say enough about all of the amazing staff at MBS!

I just hate one person who goes here.

Sending our infant son to daycare was something my wife and I were dreading. His teachers quickly gained our trust and respect and we are very pleased with our decision. Tenderheart provides exceptional care and peace of mind.
