If you would like to visit the school, contact us via phone at 301-933-5254 and we will make arrangements for you to meet with a current member who can answer questions, introduce you to the appropriate teacher, and give you a tour of the school. You may stay to observe the class. Please note that we find, for a number of reasons, that your visit will be the most beneficial to you and your child if you do not bring children with you for this visit.
