School Reviews

We have 4 kids who have graduated or are currently at HTS DC. We love this place. Top rate teachers, huge sense of community, great families, great kids. Our kids started all there at age 3... and what a happy place it has been. It was a tough choice picking schools, our local Arlington schools were great academically but I had heard a few complaints from neighbors about teachers, policies, principals. But in the end we are so glad we went with HTS. Love the Jesuit influence, not to overbearing, pretty open minding but still Catholic, very caring and with a great tradition of teaching the kids to help others. The academics are great, but I do not sense unnecessary competition. Love it. Not cheap, but well worth it. Kids are only kids once, and only grow up to be good people once if at all.
