If you and your children are considering private school education options, from pre-kindergarten to high school, the fall season into winter is traditionally an opportune time of the year to visit and explore the many schools that dot our region. The following list includes schools located in several counties: Anne Arundel, Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Talbot, Queen Anne’s, and a few beyond. We advise to call ahead and confirm the dates or to schedule private appointments. Within our upcoming January 2020 issues, we’ll publish the regional Private School Guide, which includes winter/spring open house dates, tuition costs, average class size, and more. Enjoy perusing and possibly visiting the following schools this fall.
