Falls Orchard

First three years at Maryvale (English program) have gone great for my kiddo. Ms. G is a world-class teacher, there are tons of afterschool events (talent show, international night, game night, spring fling, etc.), the PTA is active, and the school building itself is new and well-kept. Breakfast at the school is free for all kids and class sizes are low - 15 students in my kid's class - though surely other grades aren't quite that lucky. 5 stars; would recommend.

worst school. please please do not put your kid into this school. the school doesn't provide help for kids that actually need it and don't listen to the kids at all. this is a Muslim school and you are failing to show that. there are so many complaints on the principal, on the teachers. I heard only 1 good teacher in this school. there was a teacher who cussed at a student, and made his students take attendance without DOING IT, which is his job. the education might be good if your kid wants to be stressed everyday and never free and gets unmotivated. barely any time to do the homework and there is so much homework even starting from a lower grade. I don't know what makes you think cramping up homework and giving it to young and old students is a good idea. are you dumb? do not put your children in here and the tuition is just baffling. I get you're poor but you are not using the money the right way. I hope Allah forgives you and your school gets shut down.

This is a very engaged, welcoming community of parents and students that play an active role in their experience and education. We have absolutely loved our daughter’s experience at CES and are very happy here. The teachers, including all the specials teachers, genuinely care about your child and want to provide a wonderful learning environment for them. There are many things the school does to ensure that each child is being appropriately challenged and our daughter has made amazing progress in all areas - language arts and math specifically. 10/10!

We are entering our fourth year as a Harbor family. Both of our children have thrived at Harbor, thanks to its small environment, excellent teachers, and a true school feel even in the preschool years. After having tried a couple of the daycares in the Potomac area, Harbor felt like a major upgrade in quality — real, long-term teachers, a responsive classroom approach, early academics, social-emotional learning, and the relationships our kids developed with the older K-3 students made them more confident, kind, patient, and collaborative. Some of our best family friends are now other Harbor families, and the community is friendly, grounded, and warm, not competitive or elitist. We recommend Harbor to every young family we know, and we look forward to sending our third child there when he turns two!
