school by reviewing the enclosed description and visiting their web site.

form their daughters into educated, cultured, pious, cheerful, and
adventurous young women in a program oriented around the learning
styles of girls. The curriculum is rooted in the Western tradition where

confident young women. Brookewood prides itself on small classes
where girls receive more one-on-one attention.
Brookewood’s extra-curricular activities include competitive sports
and the Actor’s Guild which provides the opportunity for girls to
express themselves in drama.
Unique to Brookewood is a system of four houses in which
students are placed at the beginning of the year. On festival days the
girls compete in their respective houses in athletic events and recite
poetry they have learned in class for competition.
Outside the classroom, Brookewood School takes advantage of the
wide range of educational, cultural, and natural opportunities in the
greater Washington, DC area.
Need-based financial aid provided
by school; families may also apply for need-based assistance through

Profile
Connelly School of the Holy Child is a Catholic, independent,
college preparatory middle and upper school for young women, grades
6 through 12, in Potomac, Maryland. Founded on the educational
philosophy of Cornelia Connelly (1809-1879), the Holy Child
curriculum is individualized, rigorous, and experiential. It includes
Advanced Placement and Honors classes, as well as college-level
options offered through a five-school consortium. Campus ministry,
community service, athletics, visual and performing arts, leadership
skills, technology enrichment help to round out the Holy Child
experience every year. Holy Child students are compassionate women
of actions not words. When they graduate, they possess the skills,
character, and faith to lead fulfilling lives of intellectual, spiritual,
and social purpose. And, colleges continue to notice. The Class of
2015, for example, saw more than 50 percent of the students receiving
merit-based aid. The Class of 2016 increased that number, with
over 60 percent merit-based scholarships. As one graduate put it, “If
you’re looking for supportive teachers, countless academic and social
endeavors, and an incredibly close-knit community, then Holy Child is
the place for you.”
Holy Child offers need based
financial assistance and merit based awards. Merit based awards
recognize outstanding achievement in service, visual and performing
arts and academics. For more detail visit the website.

Profile
Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School, DBCR, is co-sponsored
by the Archdiocese of Washington and the Salesians of Don Bosco.
The school provides a rigorous college-preparatory Catholic education
with a Salesian approach of “faith, family, future, fun” to hardworking
students with limited economic resources. DBCR is a member of
the Cristo Rey Network™, a national association of 28 Catholic high
schools that feature a college preparatory curriculum and a unique
Corporate Work Study Program through which each student gains
professional experience while financing the majority of the cost of his
or her education. Students must be highly motivated and mature,
open to Catholic religious values, employable, willing to work very
hard and be academically competent. Families also are expected to
take an active part in the education of their child and in the life of
the school. To apply, families must meet financial need requirements.
Students must be 14 years old at the start of the school year and be
eligible to work in the United States.
The actual tuition and cost to
educate a student at Don Bosco Cristo Rey High school is $13,000.
By participating in the Corporate Work Study Program, students earn
$6,800 of their tuition and the Family Contribution of the tuition
is $2,500. Nearly 90% of our students receive additional financial
assistance in order to reduce the family contribution payments through
Financial Aid from the Archdiocese of Washington, Scholarships
programs, and Grants. To qualify, families must complete the Tuition
Aid Data Services (TADS) application annually and assist the school
in completing additional scholarship procedures as part of their
commitment. These additional scholarships and grants ordinarily do
not change the predetermined family contribution.
Transportation We are located in Takoma Park, MD just off New
Hampshire Avenue one mile north of the District line. We are
accessible by public transportation from the Prince George’s Plaza, Fort
Totten and Takoma Metro Stations.

Profile
Georgetown Prep is the oldest Catholic School for young men
in the nation. We just celebrated our 227th year of educating men
of competence, conscience, commitment and compassion; men of
faith, men for others. Georgetown Prep offers a rigorous, liberal arts
education that encourages growth in mind, body, and spirit.
As a boarding and day school, we foster a close-knit, global learning
environment that challenges each student to achieve their utmost
potential within small class sizes. Georgetown Prep students excel
in academics, the arts, and athletics. However, at the heart of our
education is a call to be men in service to others who will as St.
Ignatius exhorted, “ite inflammate onmia”, go forth and set the world
on fire. By setting the bar high for our young men, we push them to
be their very best. As a result, each year our graduates matriculate to
some of the best colleges and universities in the world.
We provide $2.5 million in
financial aid with an average grant of $19,000. We do not provide any
merit scholarships as, due to our admission criteria, nearly all of our
accepted pool could qualify for merit recognition. We save all our aid
for those who could not otherwise afford a Prep education.
Service to Students with Special Needs We offer time and a half on tests
for students with documented needs. We also have a learning specialist
on campus to help students who might need organizational support.
Transportation Located directly across the street from the Grosvenor
Metro Station on the Red Line. Shuttle pick up is available. Busing from
Virginia in partnership with Stone Ridge School of the Scared Heart.

Profile Georgetown
Visitation is a Catholic
college preparatory
school for girls in
grades 9-12.
Providing a
powerful education
for joyful minds,
Georgetown
Visitation prepares motivated young
women for successful futures by nourishing their enthusiasm
for learning and challenging them to “be who you are and be that well.”
Indeed Visi girls discover their best selves by engaging in our varied
opportunities—enriched by our prime Georgetown location—and by
exploring their faith. Our Salesian Spirituality, and the values known
as the Little Virtues, have an immense impact. Students become not
only well-rounded, but well-balanced—proud and humble, strong and
gentle, passionate and compassionate, and spirited and deeply spiritual.
They support one another, because they know that every girl can lead,
shine, and achieve her potential when boosted by friends who will last a
lifetime. In joining our long tradition, students delight in sharing it with
their Visi sisters and in making it their own.
Our electives range from neuroscience to creative writing. There
are many opportunities to join one of our Lewis Cup-champion sports
teams, sing with one of our award-winning performing arts groups,
head a new school club, attend retreats, and participate in domestic and
international service trips.
Each year, we award over $2 million
in financial aid, based primarily on need, but includes several merit
scholarships. To process aid applications, we use NAIS’s School and
Student Services (SSS), which applies a consistent, objective formula to
calculate the amount of money a family has available to contribute to
education costs.
The Learning Support
Department works with students who may need additional academic

Profile A Catholic,

preparatory school,
Gonzaga offers
outstanding
academics and
a wide variety
of co-curricular
activities. Located
six blocks from
our nation’s
Capitol, its inner city
location underscores the school’s commitment to the
challenge of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., for our students to become “Men for
Others.” Performing community service and helping those in need is
encouraged throughout a student’s four years on Eye Street. “Men for
Others” is not an empty phrase during a young man’s tenure at Gonzaga
or in the years that follow in the wider world. Admission is based on
school performance, current teacher recommendations, test scores, and
a personal essay, as well as extracurricular activities. Gonzaga seeks wellrounded young men with a strong desire to succeed and to be part of
Washington’s oldest all-boys school. The student body is diverse and is
drawn from the entire metropolitan area and beyond.
Need-based assistance is available
in the form of grants based upon the School and Student Service’s
(SSS) Parents Financial Statement (PFS). Applications are available
online at http://sssbynais.org/parents/. Gonzaga awards over $2.9
million in financial aid to over one-third of the student body. Merit
based grants (Presidential and Sousa Scholarships) are also awarded to
incoming freshmen.
Students with documented
learning differences are provided time-and-a-half on classroom tests,
mid-terms, and finals. Preferential seating and assistive portable
technology for specified purposes is also allowed. One-on-one
assistance provided by the Center for Academic Excellence and/or
Gonzaga’s Writing Center.
Transportation
Most students carpool or take public transportation.
Union Station (Red Line) is three blocks away. Gonzaga is accessible

Summer Programs
Gonzaga’s Freshman Transition Program assists
incoming ninth-grade students with courses in English, reading, math
and study skills. There is also summer school with remediation and
enrichment courses. The school hosts numerous summer athletic camps.
Profile
The Heights School assists parents, in their role as primary
educators, with the intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual
education of their sons. The School’s curriculum provides the breadth
of mind that marks an educated man, and the intellectual tools
required for higher education and professional life. An average class
size of 16 students, a student-to-faculty ratio of 7:1, and a challenging
curriculum that includes over 20 college level courses help account for
our stellar college placement record. Most important at The Heights,
however, is the personal mentoring that each student receives not only
from classroom teachers and coaches, but also from personal advisors
who work with parents to carefully foster their sons’ growth. Heights
students have access to a rich sacramental life; they compete on 13
athletic teams; they participate in 30 extracurricular clubs; and they
take advantage of travel and adventure opportunities that develop a
spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and readiness for life’s challenges.
It is mission-essential for The
Heights to support families in their efforts to educate their sons.
Consequently, over 40% of our students receive financial aid with
the average grant-per-student totaling over $10,000. Tuition
assistance is granted on the basis of financial need and full scholarships
are available.
