Private Schools

Teachers are very helpful

Our family loves Medina Montessori! Every time we walk in the door we feel so welcomed! The staff is very helpful and warm. The teachers are very knowledgeable and are always available to answer questions about curriculum and child development. We are so blessed to have this school in our area!

A wonderful office of an excellent school!

No filter, this school is not the school for children of color. Your child's behavior is looked at as hostile if they hit a child, but if another child hits/pushes yours, it's playing and appropriate. They are freaking toddlers, learn to handle them or cut your class ratio. Then to top it off, they classified my child as defiant, violent behavior and a little of negative undertones terms used in institutionalized racism. Which when everyone else. Who has had interactions with him including other parents,teachers, etc. They all were shocked to hear such language being used of a child they were familiar with around and not around me. When we placed him in another environment there was no more hitting, no time-out, and no more negative name calling of him being a bad boy. While everyone with this school was not an issue...the owners concept of what a toddler should be and doing on a social emotional side is not correct. Instead of kicking kids who are testing as twice exceptional out of your program, you should be teaching them how to process emotions. So happy this nightmare is over. Update: Still happy that my child is no longer there. The owner attempted to threaten me to remove this review when I first posted it, but clearly I was not in tge wrong for my opinions (for the record I have over 150,000 views on my reviews). My child is now getting ready for an excellent school in the area that has a known history. To top it off, we have NOT had ONE incident of him hitting. He is back to his loving and caring self. He scored an overall score of 122 on his IQ test that placed him in the 93rd percentile for his age group, and would have scored higher if he didn't get bored with the puzzles. I update this and share this to encourage parents to not settle and always act in your child's best interest. If something doesn't feel right, its not right.

@Britney Burgess. Excuse me but I am pretty sure you're some fake troll trying to lower parents' interests on this school. You have used the same complaint on two schools including Browne Academy and Burgundy Farm. I would suggest you stop because what you're doing is wrong. Anyway, this school is fantastic and my cousins are having amazing experiences here. I plan on coming to burgundy next year, I will be in the 8th grade. Burgundy is such a genuinely great place, students get connected to nature through their Coopers Cove program and other events they have at their school. Burgundy also gets students engaged in learning using fun games to play. Some things students experience at burgundy include, swimming, gardening, sports, camping and making friends. Burgundy is a unique, diverse place that lets everyone express who they are and what their feeling. It is a vibrant place that is accepting of everyone, no one feels left out everyone is included. You should send your children here because it is one of the best things you would ever experience. - Jade Lancaster + cousins.

itz good i come here its really lit all the time and the teachers are nice (most of them)

The Wakefield School is a very special school. As a child psychologist, I am often asked by parents about school placements for their child or children, and I frequently recommend Wakefield. Their teachers, coaches and advisers are outstanding! From the rigorous liberal arts education to the creative and enriching extra-curricular activities, the school strives (and achieves) at preparing students for life. Unlike a lot of private schools that focus on grades or test scores alone or place an overemphasis on STEM, Wakefield focuses instead on providing a comprehensive education that addresses the whole child or student's needs -- character, intellect, hard work, self-discipline, independence, creativity, critical thinking skills, fundamental knowledge and curiosity. I can't say enough about this school; one of the best college-preparatory school's in Northern Virginia. Yes, "Virtus et Sapientia" Wakefield. Keep up the great job!!!

We started our eldest son at St. Agnes this school year (2010-11), and we couldn't be more pleased with his academic progress, personal development, faith formation, and charity toward others. The teachers and staff here are professional, caring and get results. The community and parish are exceptionally welcoming, supportive, and involved.

We love the Highland experience. Our children can truly be themselves at Highland. The teachers truly live up to the Albert Einstein quote, “It is the supreme act of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” Each middle school student is required to play a sport. This experience led my older child to play sports in high school she had never tried prior to middle school. There are so many opportunities to grow as a student not just academically but in character and citizenship. We are blessed to be part of the Highland family.

My daughter started Goddard in Aug. 17 after attending a previous school that we loved. I was worried about her transition as the other school was all she had known. Even though she misses her friends & old teachers, she has adjusted well to Goddard. Her teachers are warm, friendly, & they genuinely care about their students. Ms. Janah, the Asst. Director is definitely an added bonus, she is friendly, hands-on, & well loved by all students..

We've been with the school for 7 years and we love the school and the teachers. They are extremely nurturing, caring and truly care about our kids.

It has a JV and Varsity basketball team and cool teachers and a big gym. You can wear uniforms and dress down but it depends on what level you on. They have point sheets and the levels are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Level 4 and 5 you can dress down.

I get a great education. And just so you know the people reviewing the school are students. And the students are just doing it for fun. I am am in 6th grade and when I came to this school I am always happy. This school makes education fun.

Awesome School!

Since enrolling our son in Mina's Sci-Math school, we have been witnessing a miracle unfold before our eyes. Like most parents, we wished for our son to be inspired and to find value in his school work. Large classrooms and the "one size fits all" method of public education, was simply not working. As a result, we decided to seek an alternative. Immediately, it seemed everyone we queried offered RAVE reviews about Miss Mina. Shortly after, we decided to enroll our child. Miss Mina’s teaching style along with her warm and nurturing spirit resulted in a transformation of our son's attitude toward all of his subjects including: reading, writing, math, science, history and more. His self-confidence continuous to escalate and he is motivated to complete his assignments from a position of inspiration. Miss Mina and her staff are terrific! Our only wish is that we had started with Miss Mina sooner!!

Angelus Academy is a gem. Our family has been attending this school for 5 years now and my kids love to go and are thriving. They are not just learning but growing into such loving children of God. Thank you Angelus.

I like the place

Wish Google had 10 stars! Awesome Teachers.The students are well mannered and very respectful. Great School!
