Field has been a life-changing school for my daughter (who just entered the 6th grade there this…read morepast fall). From Day 1, the faculty and other students made her feel at home and a part of the community. Many schools encourage students to bring their "whole selves" into the school but Field really means it. The community is tight-knit and there is so much JOY at the school. The art and theater are incredible and the sports have been a great experience for my daughter, with the older girls on the team guiding & supporting the younger girls. The academics have also blown me away. The teachers are engaging, supportive, and fun. And they go deep into their subjects. The faculty not only has a great sense of the students' academic lives, but of their social-emotional lives, as well, and they work hard to make sure the students are thriving in ALL areas of life. We feel so grateful to have found Field! It is truly a special place.

My son (in middle school) applied to only two high schools, St Albans and TJ (Thomas Jefferson…read moreSchool for Science and Tech. (Fairfax Co. public)). Accepted by both, the choice was obvious. He loves STA (although all in his class received "5's" on state Calculus AP exams, his instructor thought not good enough, awarding only "B's"and "C's to to these "underachievers all"). Although not permitted to identify same, he/she is not atypical of the group entrusted my son, they expecting, regardless of product presented, more. Dispirited at first, upon reflection it to me is becoming apparent that Saint Albans (a private ( non-public) secondary education provider) is without peer in the "mid-atlantic region" (whatever that means) for a young man's education (look at NCS if you are of a different persuasion (#2, but nearly equal in quality)). Not to discredit Georgertown Prep, St. Anselm's, TJ, Sidwell or Landon, but when your child verbally rebels, but cannot intelligently articulate his/her rationale therefor, then he (or she at NCS) is not a Saint Albans product, from which the kid returns home with an "A" and complains (unlike those otherwised schooled) " Yes, it's an A, but I could have done better". Only at STA. Good, Better, Best, BESTED. St. Albans=Excellence+.

From the owner: St. Albans School is an independent college preparatory school for boys in grades 4-12, located in…read moreWashington, D.C. The school is named after Saint Alban, traditionally regarded as the first British martyr. Within the St. Albans community, the school is commonly referred to as "S-T-A." It enrolls approximately 575 boys from grades 4 through 12 and is located on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral on Mount St. Alban in Washington. The school was founded in 1909 by Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of President James Buchanan, as a school for boy choristers to the Washington National Cathedral, a program that the school continues today. The St. Albans motto, "Pro Ecclesia et Pro Patria," translates to "For Church and Country." Check out St. Albans on Facebook and Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/stalbansschool @StAlbans_STA

My first grader goes to Maret, and it's such a lovely community. It definitely has the vibe of a DC…read moreelite school without the elitism. My daughter came from a Montessori program which was very self-guided, and the transition to Maret - which naturally has more structure - has been really well received by her. The school's pedagogy preserves the importance of agency in its students, something that will be critical for Generation Alpha kids with access to LLMs that can do anything for them. My sense from conversations with the high schoolers is that self-worth (not self-flagellation) is prioritized as students enter the rat race for college; excellence is expected, but it's not designed to be an unhealthy pressure cooker.

A number of the teachers have been at St. Ann's for a long time, and they are complemented by newer teachers who bringing new energy and enthusiasm to the school.

My brain is definitely malfunctioning at this point, Mr. Brown, Mr.Lundt, Mr.Oliver, Oh didn't forget about you Mary McDonald!

Cringe post, but I'm currently sorting through my Google Photos because I'm clearing space and don't wanna pay for more storage and this is the perfect time to do this stuff! Oh yeah definitely wrote fuck Boykin right? That asshole can burn in hell. I had that sentiment as a child and I hold it now, even kids currently going to WMS from our neighborhood in Woodbury Park hate him. You sir, have allowed bullying to go unpunished and give a lot of the teaching staff HELL for YEARS. Yeah. Total Dogshit of a person. I KNOW Staff reading this review will chuckle.

In sixth grade the nest teachers to have are Mr Redican Mr Kennedy Ms Myers Ms Texiera and Mr Wittie they are so kind and they are some of the best teachers at the school. Eighth grade was Fantastic I highly suggest your child has Ms Murphy Ms Clayton Mr Schonfeld And Mr Smolinski are so nice and if your child struggles with math I highly suggest your child having Ms Maloney she made me such a better student in math. PS if you have those teachers for sixth grade and those teachers for eight grade you will have a great time at Williamsburg Dave P
