Brand new (120 million) campus with very WHITE interior. Reminds me of a sensory deprivation…read morechamber. Everything was very clean and sterile feeling. The entire campus is in one block. You can get from building to building easily and everyone seamed very pleasant. Finding your way about is a bit of a challenge due to it being very new. There were paper signs are up currently waiting for the final ones to be put up. The staff was very helpful and the library was great. It even has a sun deck off the library to get some fresh air when you wish. It looks like my daughter will be coming to this school and the more I have talked about in around DC the more people have praised it.

Communication is a major issue--no one answers the phones, making it hard to get help or information. The school would benefit from a stronger presence in DC and more online course options to attract students. As of now, many of us are choosing other schools that feel more modern, responsive, and accessible.

The school has several decades' experience in applying a genuine Montessori, activity- and interest-based, child oriented curriculum. My son loves it and thrives. The extended family is a big fan of the place. Not only parents but also older siblings are involved in the Montessori family. There is an alumni network, and alumni who are now in college studying relevant subjects come back to volunteer! Did I mention that alumni in general also happen to do exceptionally well in their careers? The only thing I regret is that I did not yet know the place when my older children were at the relevant age...

This review is related more to the facility rather than the goods / services / education provided…read more I went to Holy Cross Hall at the Howard University West Campus for a meeting recently. The campus is well-kept and secluded with ample parking on the *weekends*. On weekdays, I'm not so sure =/ There isn't enough signage so I had to walk in circles a couple of times to find the building I was looking for. My meeting was on the 3rd floor. I took the elevator and I blinked and seriously thought I landed in the 1950s. The flooring was worn and the walls has faded colors - there was character. I can deal with older buildings but my biggest issue were the bathrooms. There were 3 stalls and none of the doors closed. Oh yeah, and there was a huge gap between the stall door so you could see all your business and then some hanging out. It's hard to visualize but trust me, I had to strategically plan my visits to the bathroom so I wouldn't have an embarrassing story to tell someone else later on. I'm not sure if I plan to come back but if I do, I'll bring masking tape.

Howard University School of Law (HUSL) has a reputation for excellence. Correction, it has a well…read moredeserved reputation for excellence. Separate from the main campus, HUSL has a wonderful location right down from the embassies on Van Ness Street. Tree lined streets with convenient Metro access to an area that is a well balanced mix of a commercial and residential neighborhood is where you will find the school. The law library is huge. Although it is 20 years old, the library was built for the 21st Century. There are plenty of tables where you can plug in and type/surf away. There are also row after row of books for those that wish to get lost between the pages. Inside the school you will find classrooms that have seen generations of students come, grow, and then move out into the world to make an impact. The classroom environment is one of interest and learning. The students want to learn. And if they are not in class, it is common to come across a group of students studying in the halls or in the small study rooms. Do yourself a favor, look for quality and the ability to change the world. When you look, ask yourself, "Am I ready to HUSL?"

There's plenty of room to dance (unlike Zumba classes at gyms that pack in more than they can accommodate). I took off one star just for the volume - wish the music could be toned down a tad, though it's no louder than any other class in the country. This is by far the most cost effective and friendly dance studio in town.

It was discovered that company had known for a long time that the school would have to close (bc so many families left due to unaddressed safety issues that enrollment was too low to continue operation). But, Metro hid this from everyone until mid-July. By that time, many other schools were full, primary positions for teachers were already full, etc. We literally only had days to find a replacement school placement. This company doesn't care about your kids - they just want your money. Think twice before giving it to them!
