Cedar Lane Elementary School

Great small school in a large county.

We are starting our second year at Newton-Lee and couldn't be more happy with the teachers, communication, and quality of education. When my children share what they are learning, they sound excited and proud of their accomplishments. The teachers meet the student where they are and are not willing to settle even if a child is excelling in an area. We are lucky to have teachers that are proactively looking to keep challenging the students. I also really appreciate the focus on social and emotional intelligence. Much of this was lost during the pandemic years, and it is nice to see the school supporting the whole child. There is also a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and anti-bullying. I feel like my children are being well equipped to succeed. Additionally, I truly appreciate the opportunity for parents to get engaged and build a partnership with the staff and teachers at the school. Finally, while it would be helpful to consolidate the channels of communication into one source/app, it is really great how much communication we receive from the school - weekly newsletters from the teachers and principal along with daily updates in the form of pictures/class communications and hand written notes. Newton-Lee has a very welcoming atmosphere, and we really appreciate everyone at the school.

Great school. Leadership and academics are top notch. Best elementary school in Ashburn! My kids enjoy being a student @Belmont Station Elementary. Teachers are all kind and caring.

Both of my daughters have attended MAB for the past 3 years, and our experience has been excellent. The staff are mainly long-time employees, and go above and beyond for all the children. The level of social engagement and growth that both my children have experienced at MAB has been remarkable. The level of support and understanding from the staff and management has been among the best we have experienced at any school. This was my first experience with a Montessori school, and it has forever changed the way I look at child development and growth. Highly recommend!

When we moved to the Ashburn/Leesburg area in 2021, we were certain we would not replace our previous preschool/teachers that we had in Herndon. GPS was recommended to us by our then director. From the moment we stepped in the school, we knew we could stop searching for that perfect fit; we were home! The dedication the administrators and teachers have to the students is unmatched. We immediately felt like we were dropping off our girls to family and that level of comfort continued throughout their education at GPS. The variety of skills our girls learned at Golden Pond set them up for success when entering public school; which was evident when our eldest entered Kindergarten. As our younger one graduates this spring, we are certain she’ll have the same confidence transitioning. We are so grateful for our time at Golden Pond. The teachers, administers and supportive parents create a productive, yet loving environment that allows children to truly thrive. Thank you! -George Family
