Life after Little Folks School

Head of School Consultations

Head of School James Gilroy meets with individual families to help them navigate the independent school application process.  As a member of the Board of Trustees for the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington (AISGW), James has a keen insight into the independent school landscape in the Washington, DC area. From learning how to even start the application process to selecting the best school for your child, families at Little Folks are supported as they take that next big step. 

Independent School Admissions Coffees

Each fall we host a series of admissions coffees for families to learn about other independent schools in the area.  Admissions directors, teaching faculty, and other administrators take time to share their school’s history, traditions, curricular programming, and details regarding the admissions process.  Beauvoir, Georgetown Day School, Maret, National Presbyterian School, Sidwell Friends School, St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School, Sheridan, and other area schools are typically represented through our admissions coffees. The dates for these visits are sent out in September for families to mark on their calendars.   

Alumni Parent Panels 

Little Folks School hosts a panel of former LFS parents representing top independent, parochial and public schools to share their experiences. The candid event also includes a question and answer session between the panel and current parents. 

"Always a Little Folks Kid!"

At Little Folks School, we like to say that we never really say "goodbye!"  We love staying in touch with our alumni families in so many different ways.

• Our recent alums often stop and visit for hugs at the front door or return to LFS to attend summer camp.
• Our elementary school alums might dance with us at the Valentine's Dance.
• Our high school and college alums come back and work at LFS Summer Camp
• Our grown up alums come to an Open House with children of their own!
