I enjoy volunteering to read stories and hearing the individual groups of children singing their way down the hall to meet their waiting parents for pick up. Great care is made by the entire staff to meet the individual needs of each child. They are a group of caring, dedicated professionals. The 2024-2025 school year will be the Preschool's 40 Anniversary-with good reason This is a caring, nurturing place for young children.

The staff truly loves what they do and it shows. My daughter attended the 3 year old and 4 year old…read moreprograms and loved going to preschool. She was more than prepared heading into kindergarten due to the base learning they provided. The additional enrichment programs made it extra special with visits from animal experts, the fire department and mother's day tea events. Being a part of the church allowed us access to more activities and I appreciated having a community of support. I would highly recommend St. Andrew Lutheran Preschool.

The 7 years of my life that I spent at this school were.....not well liked. Half the teachers…read morehalf-assed their lessons and the main staff were assholes. Don't even get me started on the head lunch lady. The worst part about this school is how badly they treated my mother. She put about 85% of the total effort into the 6th grade graduation party for the class of 2023, yet was treated so badly by the staff, teachers, and some of the other PTA members. If anyone reading is on the PTA, I recommend you leave. All in all, experience at this school was a 1/10, made me hate school and learning and was not beneficial to me at all.

Saint Timothy's is a phenomenal school! We've been a part of this community for 11 years, and as…read moreour twins get ready to graduate 8th grade, we couldn't be more grateful. The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated, and the faith-based curriculum has allowed our 8th, 6th, and 3rd graders to truly blossom. The academics and community atmosphere just keep getting better. Highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered education!

I went to St. Timothy's from 1990 - 1994. While I really enjoyed the religious aspect of the school…read more(their religion classes were top notch) the educational portion of the school was questionable. I begged to be let into public school like my neighborhood friends the last three years of elementary school and even as a kid I was blown away by how much better the local public school was. You would think a private school would have more resources than a public school but this is not the case in Fairfax County where our education system is ballin. Many many many moons later, I had a friend who enrolled her kid in a private religious school and ended up moving him to public school a year later for the exact same reason I stated. The one thing that was awesome / appalling about St. Tim's was their utter disrespect for healthy school lunches in the 90's. They literally would cater our school lunches from McDonalds, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Oh memories.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES…read more This school is the worst school I've ever seen. first of all they give way too much homework. the homework is so much that i have to do the homework for the whole day! And the homework is way too hard that we had to hire a tutor to come every day! Second of all is uniform. The uniform in this school is so uncomfortable and we have to buy about 20 uniform and they don't even give us money to buy the uniform. Third of all is the costs. The school is so so so! Expensive even with the uniform and the tutor and the lunch menus and the monthly payments and the stuff for the science fair and the school supplies! Fourth of all is the size. The school is sooo small that every grade has one classroom. And the staff is so little there's not enough of them. and so is the school playground. The school playground is in a parking lot and we have to play carefully and stop playing just because of the cars. And there's only a tiny playground that's a house playground that doesn't even have a swing and only first and second graders can use it!. Fifth of all, is teaching. the teachers DO NOT EVEN TEACH they just test us all the time and rely on textbooks and the teachers call their family members and even put their country song to not let us focus. And finally Sixth of all is dismissal. they don't have busses because it's a broke school and they dismiss Students with a website that is always rigged when i see my car they don't call it and i have to wait 7-10 minutes. and when students are called their names are still on the screen. I am so so so upset and disappointed for what this school has done! the whole school is lying about their best private school, trust me! And don't attend this school or believe in the 5 star reviews. I had experience and i hate this school! take your kids out of this school if you want them to graduate! If you don't know what school to go to then go to bull run elementary school. who would make such a school like this!

I'm not sure if my daughter would have excelled to her current level if it was not for the awesome…read morestaff at the Montessori School of Chantilly. Her reading comprehension is strong and her attention is much improved. The thing that I really appreciate about the teachers is the fact that they want to learn more about the respective cultures of the student body so that they can prepare them for the diverse world that exists outside of the school. My daughter is part of such a warm and welcoming environment, so much so that they even invited parents to come in and contribute towards a special event yesterday to better understand and appreciate the importance of Lunar New Year to my family and the other families that celebrate. As a dad, I will always be thankful for that. Highly recommend.

This is absolutely a wonderful place with dedicated educators and caregivers. Our daughter was excited for every day of school and we saw the incredible growth and development every week. There was clear communication from the staff and teachers, we were given updates nearly every day (via photos and videos through the Procare app), and enjoyed multiple events throughout the year. The best place for your young one to start their journey!

Beneath Ken Nysmith's slick salesmanship and the forced smiles that greet you, lies a far more sinister reality that belies the promise of "joy-filled, personalized learning". If you're seeking a school that truly nurtures your child's heart and mind, look elsewhere! Wellbeing and emotional support are woefully neglected at Nysmith. This place sees no problem in breaking spirits, crushing individuality and forcing students into a rigid mold that stifles their unique potential and confines them to narrow expectations. Question the status quo, and you'll be met with contempt. Conformity is the sole currency valued here! Think The Bible, Torah, or Quran -- immutable and infallible. . . I have met a few great teachers but admin pressure seems to leave them little bandwidth to connect, coach, or inspire students (despite the low student-to-teacher ratios). Humans are wired to thrive in safe, supportive spaces where even mistakes become stepping stones to learning. Nysmith is NOT that space. You've been warned!
