Top Elementary schools in Bethesda, United States

My now 18 year old looks back fondly.

This is a great AMI school.

I proposed to my wife on this campus. A very romantic setting. 5 stars without reservation!

Ask for Marty if you ever go to the weight room

I have no children, but I’ve always been impressed by the lectures that I attended. Everyone seems to be remarkably dedicated to their Waldorf adventure.

Culturally rich, full of amazing arts (musical, performing and visual) program and the constant physical activity keeps the boys healthy as well as able to concentrate on work. Can be competitive, but definitely these boys support each other. Wish they had more bus routes in VA.

it is famous school. in school all teacher is taught by easily. THIS IS THE CENTRE OF LIFE. WHERE WE LEARN HOW TO MAKE LIFE.

It is a good school I like it

My friends and I were treated very badly by a teacher named miss spotolnick but everyone else was nice.

Excellent

Best school great staff and grounds crew
Usely 12 to 14 people in class so you can not hid in classes

Best School Ever Love the Ravens!!!

We have been at this school for four years and couldn't be happier with the quality of education our daughters are receiving. The teachers are excellent and the curriculum is challenging. We were driven to the school due to the stress on science and languages (French and Arabic) even in the youngest grades. Our daughters have thrived in the small and diverse classes. The school has a welcoming community and the students do live by the motto of "be kind."

We have had our daughter at this school since pre-school and she loves it. This school and its method of teaching are a magic elixir for what ails most public school teaching. Come to Waldorf and find a better way to learn.

A fantastic community of teachers who are dedicated to their students. My two kids have been there for six years and love it. Lots more info about our school on DC Urban Moms. Come take a tour or attend the bazaar in November to get a sense of what Waldorf/ Steiner education is all about.

Incredible place for children to learn at a developmentally appropriate pace without being beholden to nonstop testing. Teachers here have deep relationships with and insights into their individual students. So happy to have found this wonderful school and community!

We have two children at this school, and they are both extremely happy there, and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The teachers are extremely dedicated, and the quality of the students' work is extraordinary. The curriculum is very rich, and the approach to teaching encourages a love of learning which is really the most important thing a school can provide.

What Candace Gale said. The boys grow and mature in every imaginable dimension in the challenging and uplifting environment. Admittedly, it's not for everyone. Landon is very competitive, oriented toward liberal arts and sports. For those talented boys that can make the grade, it's an extraordinary experience. And its graduates are highly sought by the best colleges and universities in America and abroad. I'm proud of my Bear graduate who has graduated from the white rocks to Johns Hopkins, and happy for his mates that have made big waves at Yale, Davidson, Tulane, UVa, Princeton, Cornell, Duke and more. Go Bears!

i go to Landon i love the teacher coach mentor program and the students are nice!!! Go Bears :)

We have been at Washington Episcopal for several happy years. While WES has many great strengths, to me, the School truly excels at helping students become confident, poised public speakers--an impressive feat for an N to 8 school! During my kids' first year at WES, in Transition (pre-K), they presented five fun facts about a rainforest animal to their teachers and classmates. From there, I have seen my kids and their friends gain experience and confidence as they present in class, perform in plays in front of the whole school, read at Chapel, and numerous other opportunities to read, speak, and perform in front of an audience. This transformative experience was really brought home to me this spring when my kids, ages 8 and 10, were asked to do a Bible reading at a family memorial service. I never occurred to me that they could not do the reading in front of 60 adults, many whom they didn't know. Yet, as I watched an adult speaker grow nervous during the service and my own kids read without a hitch, I realized what a great gift WES has given my children--confident public speaking.
