Great school options in Reston

I love this time of year. Even though I haven’t been in school for (ahem) a few years, I still feel that giddy sense of anticipation each September. And I can see that the children of Reston have it too as they skip down the RA paths with back packs, instruments, and shiny new shoes ready for whatever learning adventure awaits them. How lucky we are in Reston to have such great public schools.

Reston has:

·      28 preschools

There are 10 public schools and 25 private schools in Reston…something for everyone. Just down the street from me, Lake Anne Elementary features a Spanish immersion program (and the children take field trips to Lake Anne Plaza to shop in the Mercado). For French or Japanese immersion, it’s just a short hop over to a school in Herndon.
