Is school a place where your child merely survives? If your child is not thriving in school, we invite you to experience the transformative approach at McLean School. Connect with us to learn more about what makes McLean a place where bright college-bound students, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, and organizational challenges can learn, grow, and thrive. It’s critically important for a child to be in a school that respects them for who they are, and supports their academic strengths and challenges. This has always been true for McLean. We’re looking forward to meeting you and moving forward together.

Open House

Come visit campus and learn about our transformative approach to education from our Head of School and then attend a Lower School (K-4), Middle School (grades 5-8), or Upper School (grades 9-12) Information Session.
