Apartment, Kentlands, Lakelands, The Orchards, Orchard Knolls, and Potomac Valley. We have 100 staff dedicated to the children of Rachel Carson and a strong belief that all children can learn! We have five National Board Certified teachers and 80% of professional staff holds a Masters Degree equivalency or higher post-graduate work.
