Private Schools

We are on our second son attending The Boyd School Cascades and we've had a great experience. The teachers Ms Susan and Ms Heather do a wonderful job of planning and administering the classroom. Miss Susan has been the teacher for both our sons and she has been great. I attended parent-teacher conference last month and she was so thorough and thoughtful I was very impressed, Ms. Susan has always been available for on-the-spot discussion of my sons' progress. The classroom assistants Ms Heather is excellent she is patient and solicitous with the children. The class in a nice size with an excellent ration 2 teacher and 1 Assistance so you can be sure your little one is getting plenty of attention. There have been a variety of fun activities and field trips to augment the regular school program. I've been recommending this school to parents for a few years now, and I hope my positive reviews here can bring it to the attention of a wider audience.

I would recommend SLA to everyone :))) as I'm extremely happy and satisfied with them. They are taking over all the details for every baby. I do appreciate their work and efforts. :))

This is a wonderful school, with amazing and dedicated teachers and staff, my children have attended this school for many years and will continue for more years to come. The negative comments below are in our opinion the work of trolls, we have never experienced any of these alleged instances and they should be given the same credence as the theory that the world is flat. This school, it's teachers, it's staff, and especially it principle take care of the children as if they were their own and their well being and educational success is placed before any other consideration.

My daughter went to school here and now has her 2 year old son here. This school provided my daughter and now her son with strong spiritual nourishment, self-esteem, strong academics and a sense of belonging. My daughter has informed me that without her spiritual development she would have been lost when she joined the United States Marines because she met many individuals that did not know how to call on the Lord and use His strength vs their strength to get through. I am grateful for the education that my child received from County Christian School and that my grandson is now receiving.

This school is a gem in the community! The administrators, teachers and parents all work in harmony to provide these students with a warm, nurturing school environment.

Good after school care. Some of the teachers are nice.

I attended Ambleside from 2nd grade to 8th grade. It underwent many changes while I was there. I can confidently say that it prepared me for high school and instilled in me a deeper understanding and appreciation of primary sources. I am now a senior in high school applying to colleges, and find myself confident and competitive, thanks in large to the education Ambleside in Herdon provided. In response to the May 19, 2010 review. My teachers at Ambleside were loving and cared about me as a person. The school is full to its capacity now, and almost all students have stayed. The teachers do not choose what they would like to teach from the curriculum, it is regulated and full of rich, primary texts. The learning environment could not be better. I have visited Ambleside many times since my graduation and remain in touch with many of the staff and kids that were in my class. This school is definitely somewhere you want to look into if you wish your child to develop critical thinking and analysis and their own individual brand of thinking.

DMS is a fantastic school and we have been very happy the past year. Our four year old daughter has matured significantly in reading, writing and mathematics. She loves going to school and always comes home surprising me with new facts and knowledge she learned that day. The Director and teachers care deeply about each individual child's development and success. I highly recommend the school to any prospective parents.

We are so happy we found Virginia Academy! Everything about this school is great! We love the staff, the diversity, the curriculum and, of course, the heart for God. VAA is a huge blessing to our familly. The warm atmosphere is amazing! The teachers are great and they care about the students!! The foundation that VAA is building for my son is amazing! I could go on for hours!!! If you need a GOOD school this is the place for your family!

My wife and I have watched our son blossom during his time at this school. We enrolled him about a year ago when he was a toddler and he absolutely loves the school. Warm staff and owners who care.

I first met Dr. Deep Sran, the Founder of Loudoun School for the gifted, several years ago and before the opening of his school. Dr. Sran requested a meeting with me to discuss the vision of his school, and I believe he met with many other professionals in the area for their input. It was a pleasure to listen to Dr. Sran passionately describe the sort of school he wanted to open and run; a school for gifted and talented students where creativity, critical thinking, amazing field trips, autonomous and socratic style instruction, and overall academic excellence are all given great importance. Dr. Sran's careful planning, creative and innovative style and diligence paid off in the form of Loudoun School for the Gifted (formerly, The Ideal Schools). As a child psychologist, I have been recommended this school to families since its inception, and I continue to endorse it as one of the area's top private school, specifically, for gifted and talented children and teens. If you are considering a school change for your child, Loudoun School for the Gifted is well worth a visit! Keep up the great work Deep and Susan!!!

Love Primrose!!! From the owner to the staff and the teachers, excellent all around.

Simply the right choice for our kids.

We love this school. Our son (almost 5) is in his second year at the school after attending another Montessori program before we moved to the area. We have been so pleased with how he has matured and all that he has learned. The staff at the school really cares about each child and as parents, we feel very informed with everything going on at the school. Our son wakes up every morning excited to go to school and we have such confidence in the place he gets to spend his day. Great instruction and the most kind people out there!

We love this school and great staffs and facility!!!!

Great school with dedicated faculty and staff. The grounds are beautiful and back up right to the Potomac river.

Our experience with Congressional School has been outstanding. Our daughter is in 7th grade. She is learning and happy to be part of this school. As engaged parents, we are involved in our kids’ academics and activities. This school’s approach has been to attend to the needs of each student and at the same time ensure collective high standards of achievement are met every step of the way throughout the school year. We value all teachers’ contributions in how excited our daughter has been about learning and their ways of enticing learning and instilling styles of participatory approach. The well-designed program to transition to high school involves parents’ input regarding seamless and smooth placement steps and proper fit to the new school. Key staff in this process are knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the transition from 8th to 9th grade. We highly regard this relatively small and very well organized community for the safe and valuable learning it offers. One of our best decisions has been to enroll our daughter in this school. We highly recommend Congressional school.

I remember Kindergarten really well, and I remember loving it. It was a GREAT school. And I turned out fine. In seventh grade I was part of the Duke TIP Program. So that means that not only did I have fun there, I guess I actually learned something too!
