Appletree students have successful experiences at many other schools after they graduate. One option is our sister school, Merritt Academy, located approximately 5 minutes east. Merritt continues many of the programs and philosophies of Appletree through the 8th Grade. Acceptance at Merritt Academy is automatic. Throughout the 4th Grade year, Merritt hosts many activities for the 4th Grade students to help them become acquainted with both the facility and the students and teachers.

Fairfax County’s Gifted and Talented Program is also another option, as well as their regular education program. There are many other private schools in the area with various learning styles which Appletree students have successfully transitioned into and thrived.
