Our kids have attended The Banner School from K through 7th. I will agree there have been times when I questioned if we should contents and if we were getting the bang for our bucks. Now as my kids play sports with kids for other schools, I listen to the other parents and the stories they tell me and I listen to their kids when we car pool. From their stories I hear the lack of knowledge and confidence they are receiving in the public school. What's interesting to note is the attitude we receive once I say our kids are at a private school. Most think you must be wealthy to send your kids there. This is simply not true. Banner is affordable and will work with parents. We pay the same if not more in taxes. To include taxes for public school that my kids are not attending and we have no issue with this. Why, because the value of education for everyone is very important to our nation. The Banner School is a great place to give your kids a good foundation to succed in life. You need to stop by and find out for yourselves. Schedule a day visit for your kids to spend a day. I know you will enjoy your time there.

In sharp contrast to the previous review, I found the Banner School's Kindergarten program to be a rewarding and highly challenging program for my child. The school's strong phonics based reading program coupled with leveled reading helped my child to achieve reading success. By the time my child entered first grade he was reading on a beginning second grade level. The kindergarten program at Banner also encouraged my child to become a creative thinker, writer, and problem solver. Individualized instruction and personal attention makes Banner number one in my book. Unlike the public schools Banner is not into warehousing children into a one size fits all education.

We loved Banner for our older son. However our younger son had a terrible experience in their kindergarten program. He left their school not reading. FCPS wanted him to repeat kindergarten when I enrolled him for 1st grade. I kept telling his Banner kindergarten teacher that something didnt seem right. I asked if we needed to test him for any learning disabilities. She kept saying there wasnt a problem. I would never send another one of my children to Banner for Kindergarten. FCPS does a much better job in Kindergarten. FCPS has an excellent phonics program.
