I happened to put my sweater on inside out and as we all left the classroom to go to the concert, the teacher noticed my sweater and sent me back inside to put it on correctly. When I came back outside everyone was gone and I didn't know where to go. I just sat in the playground, alone and scared and waited and waited and waited. No one ever came for me. That memory has stuck with me all these years. The reason I bring it up here is the hope that teachers realize what they do can stick with their students for the rest of their lives. And at the very least, it can mean 60 years of zero donations to the school. And a poor Yelp review. If I were a parent and that happened to my child, I would sue the heck out of that school.

My two other children have since begun their journey at this nature-based and screen free school as well, and we continue to wholeheartedly believe in the programs it offers.

We came to Potomac Crescent Waldorf School looking for something we couldn't quite name -- and…read morefound it immediately. As a bilingual family raising kids in Northern Virginia, we wanted an environment where learning would feel joyful and rooted. PCWS has delivered that and more. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to going to school every single day. Getting a kindergartener to bound out the door in the morning is its own kind of report card. The faculty and staff don't just tend to the children; they genuinely know each one. The nature-based learning and screen-free environment aligned perfectly with how we want our kids to experience childhood -- but what's kept us is the community. It's one of the most welcoming groups of families and educators we've encountered. If you're searching for a private school in Alexandria that takes the whole child seriously, this is it. One of the top schools in Alexandria for families who care about depth and heart.

My review is for the SummerTimes summer camp program held at the Fontaine campus. My 9 year old…read moredaughter attended a 1 week Filmworx camp that instructed her on basic principles of movie-making, where she spent the week creating movies using iMovie and Final Cut Pro software. The school was 1 week long but my daughter really enjoyed the time spent and picked up quite a few techniques that she continues to use at home. This school is really situated in a neighborhood with tight streets so I can't imagine this being an ideal situation for residents, especially during the busy school year. The campus is very nice and the facilities served the purpose, but it was really the instructor that made all the difference in this class.

Overall, it's a good school, with loving teachers, but from my vantage point it has one major problem, which is that parents have repeatedly threatened me and flipped me off while protesting in front of the school. I've written to the new head of school, Patti Culbreth, twice about this issue, but it happened again today, with one parent swerving his pickup truck at me and verbally and physically threatening me. Needless to say, I'm not a fan, but I don't feel it's fair to give the school only one star. I've also cautioned Patti if the threats and obscenity don't stop, I will seek an injunction in court against the school. Hopefully Patti has the integrity to deal with these issues without the need to go to court.

Not only did each week have a fun and creative theme, they were also loaded with field trips and swimming. They also really connected with the Christian songs and instructions. My eldest child would come home in the evenings and YouTube videos of the songs they learned at camp. Both kids sing and do hand motions to the songs. I LOVE seeing them this excited about the Bible! As a parent knowing my kids are happy is super important. I also need to know that they are safe. I really felt like the camp did a great job with this as well. The doors are secure, they adhere to a buddy system and I was ID'd during pickup when new teachers did not know me at the beginning of summer. My interactions with the staff (counselors and front staff) has all been professional. One time my youngest child had a sore belly. They called me and kept him in the office until I arrived. They were also very helpful with any other questions and concerns I had. We are not members of this church or school but due to such a great summer experience we attended a service and it truly felt like home. What a great place!

This might still not be the same because it's been five years though, bear that in mind. The teachers didn't care if you were being bullied, they would just stick you into counseling, which just split you up from socializing with anyone else not in counseling. I got knocked unconscious constantly be stronger classmates, and every time my teachers would cover for them and have it blamed that I slipped or some other bullshit they would pull out of their asses. It was torture going to the school, my parents couldn't get any other school for me to transfer to that I could still take the bus for. They couldn't afford the gas to drive and pick me up everyday, and I lived in a bad neighborhood, so they didn't want me to walk. Here's an example, one time I had a bleeding finger, and also bear this in mind, I was in the first grade. I was just an innocent kid, the finger that was bleeding was my right middle finger, and it really hurt. I didn't mean to be rude, but when I went to ask for a bandage from my teacher, I accidentally flipped her off, and she sent me to the principal's office. Instead of going there, I really needed a bandage, and I went to the nurse, which i mind you was right across the hall from the principal's office so I was just going to get a bandage first.. When I got there, I did the same thing, just begging for her to help me. She took me to the principal's office, and I was suspended for 3 days, I didn't know what it meant, they put me in counseling when I came back, and this is the third time they put me there as well. I couldn't eat lunch with anyone, I wanted to kill myself everyday going to this hellhole of a school. I hate this school, and I will never forget what happened to me here. One day you son's of bitches, one day. Please don't send your kids here, trust me it is fucking horrible in there. I really wish I could give them 0 stars.
