If you're not prepared to put in the effort and dedicate yourself to your academics, it can be overwhelming. The coursework is demanding, and you'll need to be proactive in seeking help when needed.That being said, the school offers a wide range of clubs and activities, which provide a great outlet for students to pursue their passions outside of the classroom. These extracurricular opportunities have allowed me to meet like-minded individuals, develop leadership skills, and take a break from the academic rigors when needed.Overall, I believe that BASIS Independent McLean is an excellent choice for students who are willing to work hard and take advantage of the many opportunities the school provides. The supportive teachers, challenging curriculum, and diverse extracurricular activities create an environment that fosters growth and prepares students for success in their future endeavors....

  2. #2 Best Private High Schools in VirginiaThe Madeira SchoolMclean, VA·Private School·9-12·Rating 4.23 out of 5 121 reviewsFreshman: Overall, my experience at Madeira has been high quality so far. As for the academics, that is truly where Madeira excels. Each class is rigorous, informative, and takes new approaches to learning that I never experienced in my public middle school. As for the teachers, I have mixed feelings- some are excellent, some are horrible. Unfortunately, most of the bad teachers are given to underclassmen. However, I believe one of the best aspects of Madeira is the unique people I've met. I have friends from all over the world- China, DC, the Middle East, Mexico, and more. From this, I have become more cultured upon entering Madeira. I also love how comfortable every student feels at school. This is not a "mean girl" school. Madeira has it made it easier for me to share my voice and be myself. Clubs and sports at Madeira are the only things I think Madeira could really improve on. Clubs pretty much meet once a year and Madeira lacks good coaches. However, everything else at the school is great!...

We were extremely impressed by the facilities, friendliness of the staff and students, and just the overall atmosphere of feeling like a home away from home. The fact that it is 100% boarding plays a big part in the school being one big family. Selah has absolutely loved it there, we have seen her blossom and grow into a mature and confident young woman, ready for college. We were very impressed with the reports on her grades and the attention teachers paid to the details of her learning style and progress! A real highlight for us. She also danced and got back into running track and represented the school. Episcopal has truly been an all rounded excellent experience for our daughter.

I also attended a lot of field trips, getting to know the culture and area I live in. I am aware that there are two campuses in. the United States, and thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Arlington campus. Its proximity to Washington DC and the level of teachers was pretty amazing, especially Dr. Gertz and Mr. Draim. Also, Mr. Elgut and Mr. Herring helped me out a lot with the college application process. As an international student, living just outside the U.S. capital was very important. It was very easy to get around and the public transportation worked very well. I already gained acceptance to one of my top colleges for next year, but am still waiting others, with hope.

I can speak from experience. When I started my high-school search in seventh grade, I valued current students' and families opinions, in which is where I choose to start my review. Often a question I receive when being asked about Flint Hill is, "What makes Flint Hill special?" I could choose to talk about just how great the arts programs are, or how much I enjoy the athletics department, but I always choose to emphasize the Flint Hill community. As I entered Flint Hill in ninth grade, within just a few days, I realized how much the community was valued. This school adopts an environment where everyone can truly express themselves and are supported to maximize their full potential. Friends, peers, faculty and staff, and even parents are what have my experience so far here, and I want to do the same for others. Go Huskies!...

My girls have, in a short time, developed confidence in their willingness to try new things, take on leadership roles, and make connections with teachers and students they might not otherwise have tried in their previous schools. The fake- social world many teen girls live in is harming more than connecting. At Chatham Hall, they put down phones and share meals and conversations; they have laughter, joy, and human connections. They belong, are relative, and know they mean something to this bigger community. Weekends are no longer spent isolated in the rooms on TikTok or Netflix. They are going on Target trips, trying rock climbing, or spending an afternoon in the art studio. The options to engage are plenty and accessible, and in this world of divisiveness, they see the connectedness and the power they have as younger women to lead....

The faculty truly care about the students, and the students truly care about the school and each other. Within this environment of care, kindness, and respect, students are expected to handle a rigorous academic course load. There is plenty of individual attention and no student gets lost in the crowd.

I was a student at St. Anne's-Belfield from second grade until my graduation. The teachers are phenomenal and make every student feel welcome. It has been over a year since I graduated, but I still fondly remember Mr. Taylor's renowned American Studies class, Mr. Phillips' advisory, Dr. Graves' seminar, Mrs. Robertson's office hours, Dr. Visscher-Gingerich's Spanish classes, working in the Communications and Marketing Office, building the school library, working on the student publications, and countless other moments.
