If your child is very motivated and an independent thinker, as well as craves a small class size, he/she will be very engaged here. Both schools are very small and staff works with each child individually ensuring a challenging environment. Learning is project based and expands the student's analytical skills. Staff, teachers and students are supportive and encouraging of each other. The skills learned here will last far beyond high school and college.

From the owner: Founded in 2008, Loudoun School for the Gifted is the only middle and high school for advanced…read morestudents in Virginia. Students work in a small, supportive community where school feels right and their ideas, interests, and highest aspirations really matter. Classes are small and are designed to encourage dialogue among teachers and peers. The setting is comfortable and the workload is reasonable. We believe this environment allows students to be and do their best. The courses are built on great books and challenging questions, with the aim of helping students learn to think critically and creatively. Our teachers have advanced or engineering degrees in their respective fields, allowing them to provide expert guidance and academic work designed to prepare students to be successful in higher education and in their professional lives. At our school, teachers know their students, students know their peers, and together we work to help each other do great things.

This is the way learning should be. Amazing community that is child focused. We are going into our…read moresecond year and couldn't be happier! When your child comes home every day excited and enthusiastic about the day what's not to love?! A life long learner is my goal and so far our experience has been nothing but top notch. We will be here through 8th grade and then ... don't know yet, still holding out hope that LCDS will consider building a high school in the meantime we will revel in this amazing school community! You should definitely come see what all the fuss is about. Like I stated at the beginning this is the way learning should be. #whyLCDS

We have been at LCDS for 6 years and could not be happier. The focus on "the whole child" is just…read morethat - a curriculum that is well-rounded and creates kids who can think critically, appreciate the arts and genuinely love learning. We are so impressed with the music program, the art program, PE and of course, the strong academics. My boys are confident public speakers due to the focus on this important life skill at the earliest ages! This school is an investment in your children that you will truly never regret and will see the benefits of in the years to come.

I love this high school. There's issues like any other school (vaping, pajama wearing.) But they do…read morea good job of helping your child succeed if you steer your kid well. My son went to Seldens Elementary, Belmont Middle and Riverside. He's driven, self motivated, focused on his future and doing all he can to make it happen and succeed. I did some things to help him (early LEGOs, physics kindergarten app, mathnasium to help with math, steered him to be with kind, forward moving friends) but the rest is the school. Overall he's more than ready for college. Adults are impressed how well he speaks with them. He has a great work ethic and is more than ready for the AI future. He has about 25 friends who are similar (1550 SAT, 4.4GPA range.) They're all friendly, kind, driven, helpful, cheer each other on and have a purpose. I was the bumper rails while the school drove him (and his friends) to the finish line. Well done Riverside!!!

This is a RVHS Café review. The Café at riverside has decent food and drink at reasonable prices,…read moreand the menu ranges from Iced Coffee to Fruit Snacks. Some items on the menu are a personal favorite such as noodles and their Arnold Palmer. My only complaint with the establishment is the service. I have had to wait up to 10 minutes before just to get a cup of noodles which takes 10 seconds to heat up. Otherwise I enjoy this schools Café and would rate it 3/5 pringles.
