Love this school...the best in the area! We had a fabulous experience. Best teachers and welcoming families!
Both of my daughters attend GHS. This is their second year. I pulled them from the local public school because I did not feel they were realizing their potential. GHS has exceeded my expectations...and ask anyone who knows me...that is a VERY RARE statement. My oldest daughter, who did 7th and 8th grade at GHS, was accepted to both boarding schools she applied to. These were academically rigourous schools with low acceptance ratios...if not for GHS, I am certain she would not have been accepted. My youngest daughter, in grade 4 this year, has had her best year ever in elementary school. She has blossomed on all fronts. GHS has offered an environment where both of my girls have been able to grow on all levels...academically, socially and emotionally. The teachers and faculty have created the rarest of environments...nurturing, team oriented yet challenging. I would highly recommend GHS.
Both are sons attend Green Hedges and have been with the school since they started in the Montessori program when they were three years old. We visit neighboring private and public schools to evaluate other programs and in the end, we always seem to return back to Green Hedges. There are many reasons why we find the school to be a great fit for our sons but the one aspect that remains true to the core mission is the 'enjoyment of learning'. We strongly recommend the school based on their broad enriched curriculum and emphasis on every single student.
We are absolutely thrilled with Green Hedges. If you are hung up on state-of-the art physical facilities then you may want to look at a school that is a bit flashier. BUT if you are interested in a nurturing environment with small classes and truly first rate teachers you will be well pleased with Green Hedges. The school offers a classical education delivered in a progressive manner. Every child is valued for his or her own strengths, while encouraged to take risks in areas of relative weakness. The arts and athletics at the school are for EVERYONE, as is character education (sorely missing these days in many educational settings). As for life after 8th grade this little gem of a school places grads in many of the top (and therefore highly competitive) independent high schools in the DC metro area.
