Guiding Children to Authentic Success
Wednesday, October 24, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church
2609 North Glebe Rd.
Arlington, VA 22207

What is authentic success and what does it mean for your child and for you as a parent? Are we overemphasizing accomplishment and performance and underemphasizing resiliency and empathy?

This presentation by Dr. Heather Tedesco, a McLean-based applied psychologist, will focus on the long-term approach to parenting and will give ideas on how to incorporate your core values as you guide your children through life.

Friends, neighbors, and family are welcome to this free community parenting event! Light snacks and beverages will be offered.

Celebrate the publication of the historic memoir, “My Halls Hill Family: More Than a Neighborhood,” with the author, Wilma Jones, a fourth-generation resident of the Halls Hill – High View Park community.

Northern Virginia and DMV-Area Families: An innovative and global preschool-Grade 12 school is coming to DC next year – The Whittle School & Studios! Aimed at educating and nurturing curious, compassionate global citizens, The Whittle School is the brainchild of entrepreneur Chris Whittle, American media and education leader, former chairman of Esquire Magazine and founder of Whittle Communications and Avenues: The World School as well as Edison Learning.

The School’s philosophy and curriculum are based upon best practices from countries around the world, with an emphasis on personalized education, experiential learning, and immersive language and cultural knowledge acquisition. From the start, The Whittle School will open a second campus in Shenzhen, China, and over the next 10 years will open campuses in leading cities around the globe. As one school with many campuses, Whittle is a modern, innovative concept that will develop smart, engaged, well-rounded and globally-minded students sought after by top universities and colleges.

Amongst the different Whittle educational offerings, there will be a strong boarding component for Upper School with both full boarding and 5-day boarding options. This allows families to make the best choices for them and their students, balancing school and family life. The campus, a collaborative learning hub, will open in September 2019 at the former Intelsat building in Washington, DC, offering students access to the City as a valued educational tool. For 5-day boarding students, transportation will be offered to and from the School on a weekly basis.
