St. Clement Episcopal School

Knowledgable, dedicated, creative, empowering teachers who genuinely care for your kids. Cannot rave enough about the social and scholastic development that takes place at St. Clement. And there's a great family dynamic among those who are enrolled.

We are now on our second child at St. Clement, and honestly, I don't know how you could want more out of a preschool. From the amazing teachers, to the warm environment, to the cooking and music and new Spanish classes, St. Clement offers everything a parent could hope for in a preschool... and then some. Because my husband and I both work full time, my kids are there from 8am to 6pm, and they never grow tired of being at school! As a previous poster said, it truly is a gem... just not so 'hidden' anymore!

I found St. Clement's on this website last summer. We were living overseas and preparing to move to Alexandria. I called and spoke to the director late in the summer. Miraculously, she had spots for both my five-year-old (in their JK classroom) and my three-year-old sons. Our experience has been nothing but positive. The teachers are engaged and loving. The cirriculum is age and developmentally appropriate. The kids play outside - in all types of weather - twice a day, something my energetic boys love. The church is wonderful, as well. If you are searching for a preschool, and can grab a spot here, snatch it up. You and your children will be glad you did.

This school is a hidden gem! The teachers and staff are so warm and caring. We really felt like we were apart of a family working together to educate and mold our young child. We highly recommend this school. It is enriching for the whole family.

I am a children's librarian who has dealt with many local preschools.This is the one both my daughters attended--and they both loved it! It has the most loving atmosphere of any school I have ever worked with--it's a family! The curriculum is based on a learn through play approach--kids are encouraged to grow but not pushed. Discipline is there--but in a very positive way. This is a church school, but the religious aspect is very low key and children of all faiths will feel at home. After care is wonderful--Mrs Medrano is the best preschool teacher on earth--and the summer camp is always fun. This is not a school with a lot of name value. But if you want your kids to learn, grow and be loved, I can't think of a better place for them to be.
