Congressional School Podcast
What do our school parents and parents in general have an interest in learning about? This is what we ask ourselves each time we sit down to create a new podcast. From general parenting tips to deeper information about about our school's curriculum, our goal is to provide information that parents find useful. Each podcast is hosted and guest-starred by experts in their fields, and we hope you enjoy listening! Congressional School is a co-ed, independent day school for preschool - 8th grade located in Falls Church, VA. Contact us to inquire. And remember that we also have a day care program!
