ParentMy wife and I look upon our decision to send our two children to Edlin as one of the best decisions that we have ever made. With one child having graduated and another currently enrolled, we can say with absolute confidence that Edlin provides not only an extremely high quality education, but a nurturing, diverse learning environment which fosters academic, physical and personal excellence.

Edlin is more than a school, it is a family. Close and lasting friendships are formed. The class size is small enough that the teachers know each individual child and are able to craft tailor their lessons accordingly.

We could not recommend Edlin more highly. There is not other school that we could imagine sending our children to. We are confident that other parents will feel exactly the same.

ParentWe knew when our kids were in preschool that they were not being challenged - bored during “circle time”. When we visited the Edlin school, we were impressed with how intimate it felt, how respectful and well behaved the children were and what they were learning. So when our daughter was 4 years old and accepted for admittance, we enrolled her in K4. She loved it all from the beginning - teachers, classmates, classes, clubs. After three years our initial impression hadn’t changed and our daughter still loved going to school, so it was a no brainer to enroll her younger brother in K4 at Edlin as well. He, too, is thriving there. We find ourselves bragging about what they are learning in school at such young grades and friends/acquaintances ask us where they go when they see how smart and well behaved they are.

ParentOur children have been at Edlin for 3 years and have had a great experience. Edlin provides a tremendous education and, by far, the best value of any private K-8 school in the Northern Virginia area. The teachers challenge their students to work to their potential. The school offers an impressive curriculum that includes: Latin, Spanish or French, Music, Computers/Graphic Art/Programming, Science, and Art. Our family is impressed with the teacher quality at Edlin. The teachers give personal attention to each child and the classes are broken out by the student’s ability level rather than their grade level. For instance, each class has 3 or 4 different reading and math levels. We have found the teachers to be very kind and loving to their students. They even take the time to come to birthday parties. The aftercare and extracurricular programs at Edlin are also impressive and offers a wide array of classes, music lessons, and sports. Some of these programs include: Chinese, Math Crunchers, Robotics, Piano, Orchestra (Violin and most other instruments), Photography, STEM, lacrosse (boys and girls), field hockey (boys and girls), tennis, cross country, basketball, soccer, woodworking, cooking, jewelry making, and much more. The students also go on numerous field trips and have a yearly spring break trip to an area where they can practice the languages they are studying. Last year’s trip was to Madagascar and this year’s trip is to the Galapagos. For a small school, they are consistently outperforming other schools in language and science competitions. In 2015, Edlin students- 1. Won the Mid-Atlantic Future City Competition 2. Had 4 students rank 2nd and 3rd place in Fairfax County’s Science and Engineering Fair Physical Science and Engineering 3. Had numerous students rank 1st through 10th place nationally on 2015 National Foreign Language Exams, where they competed in Spanish, French, and Latin against a middle school, high school, and college students. One Edlin student received a perfect paper in Latin I would highly recommend Edlin if you have a child that loves to learn and has the ability to learn at a fast pace. Most importantly, our children love going to school every day. Edlin is a fantastic school from top to bottom, and their students have shown a great success. Do yourself a favor and check out the school, you will be glad you did.

ParentExcellent School in Reston Virginia. There are plenty of privates schools now, but they all pop-ups and who knows if they stay in business or not. Edlin School is almost 30 years old. If they were not delivering the best results, they would not be there for almost 30 years. This is our 3rd year at the school, every year has been a great year. My daughter loves her teachers every year. Every year, we meet outstanding teachers, who love to teach and are professionally well trained and have years of teaching experience. The class sizes are incredible 10:1 or 12:1. when I read my daughter non-fiction books, she always has comments or can always add more to the subject. She surprises me all the time with the amount of knowledge that she is gaining at Edlin. When we meet other parents or other students from other schools, they are all so impressed with our kids at Edlin. Frankly, after reading the reviews, I believe, the negative views were very far from the truth. This is a unique school, where everyone knows everyone and is very respectful. The director, always speaks with a calming voice and is always very helpful. The front desk is always available to help. Teachers know the students so well, that at any given time when the parents see them, they can update the parents about their children. furthermore, my daughter is extremely happy and well aware that she is getting an exceptional quality of education and she is proud of that. Parents are all very well educated and know the value of good education as well as discipline. We are very happy, if you are interested, go for a visit, give them a call. Find out for yourself, that is the best way!
