Private Schools

My sophomore year I was in all honors classes at a 3000 person public school, passing all my classes with A’s. I was on two varsity teams, but something wasn’t right. I took classes that their only goal was to prepare us for a standardized test that only seemed to evaluates the teachers’ ability to teach. Class sizes were large enough to the point where I was afraid to ask questions out of fear of looking stupid. Now, I go a school with small-individualized classes, where I can go to more in depth areas that are not on the Virginia standardized tests. The teachers are always there for you, and making sure you truly understand the content. The school hours are more individualized, so there is more time to get real life experience, such as volunteer work and internships. For example, I now have the time to go to George Washington University and do nanotechnology research in the afternoons after school. My next step is college, and I don’t think I could be more prepared.

Mrs. Minerik, Thank you!

Love the teachers, faculty & new building/campus. They really make an effort to know your girl and lead her in the right direction, both intellectually & spiritually, working with the parents as partners. If you want to make good life-long friends, equip your daughter to stand firm in her faith, be able to defend it in college and beyond and be able to handle the rigors of ANY demanding college curriculum, Oakcrest is a great, maybe even the best, option in the D.C. metro area.

Wonderful school! Caring, thoughtful staff. I could not be more pleased.

Herndon xD...

Inspiring school. I was here for a school visit with my Indonesian collegues.

The class is small and the teachers are wonderful. My son is in kindergarten there and can already read, write in script and knows his numbers. Did I mention he learned how to crotchet?

My son is two years old, and he has been attending Kincaid for three months now and OMG he LOVES it! My heart is so full when he comes home and tells me everything he's learned. I HIGHLY recommend this school for your toddler/infant!!!!

I can say that this Montessori was the best choice we made for our children’s education. At such a young age, both our children are so eager to go to school and work every day. They bring their lessons home with a sense of accomplishment. The teachers and the Montessori environment at Leport has been very instrumental in their development.

A great school with unlimited potential
