We've been at Olde Creek for 11 years. We love everything about it. Our new principal, Ms. Kup is terrific as are all the teachers ours kids have had. Lots of parent involvement. Great size! Great school!
Best kept secret in Fairfax County. Olde Creek is not just small... it focuses on each child. Most children receive individualized attention and lots of small group lessons, often six students or fewer. Amazing parent involvement, and a new principal (2008) who encourages parents to participate in all areas: classroom, library, art, individual tutoring during the school day, etc. A beautiful facility well-maintained, bright, and colorful with student art and projects hung throughout the school. Small classes and PTA fundraising permit creative field trips. Very neighborhood based, with play dates a walk or short drive away. This school is as much a part of the community as the neighborhood pools, sports leagues, and scouts. Not unusual to see a teacher at a weekend sporting event to watch her students. Great mix of teachers from young to experienced.
There is only 350 kids in whole school from K-6. Lots of volunteers, fun school activities and many teachers that have a real concern for childrens education
Very good school! Small school. Solid foundation.Great Principal, teachers and PTA.
I LOVE this school. I went here as a child and now my children are attending Olde Creek. Wonderful friends, teachers, parents and kids!
