Green Hedges School, Vienna | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

A lot of people ask me why we send our four kids to private school when we live in such a good school district. There are a lot of reasons to choose both options, but for me, these pics capture one of the biggest reasons I choose Green Hedges…the school integrates kids ages 3 to 15.

Here, the when the preschool girls saw the middle school girls come out to the playground for lunch, they RAN to them and they all laughed and talked and hung out. I see this happen all the time. Every middle schooler knows every preschooler and everyone in between. How cool for the preschoolers, and how cool for the middle schoolers, to have a connection with each other.

Other reasons I love GHS: plenty of outdoor time, music, arts, movement in the classroom, individualized academic plans, small class sizes, meaningful projects and field trips, incredible families, teachers, and staff.

After our daughter’s first day of school at Green Hedges in 3rd grade, she told us, “I feel like I fit in here.” When I asked what class was like compared to her former public school she said, “When I ask questions, they actually answer them.” That’s been our experience now for over two years.

We can’t say enough great things about GHS. They really care about the kids, the parents and the staff. When something needs to be addressed, they address it. There isn’t a huge bureaucracy that slows progress to a halt. They are concerned with educating kids and helping them develop as they grow up. That’s what we want out of a school. And that’s what we get at Green Hedges.
