Welcome to the Exceptional Schools Group
Celebrating exceptional schools in Maryland, DC, Virginia, and beyond culminating in our annual Exceptional Schools Fair!
We invite you to visit the Exceptional Schools Fair in the fall – and to use our website as a resource throughout the year – to explore individualized programs to help your child thrive both academically and socially. The purpose of the Fair and this website is to showcase the many wonderful school choices available to families of children with diverse learning needs. Many of our 2020 Participating Schools are currently accepting students for this school year.
Due to safety concerns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not hold a fair in 2022. Please check back next fall for announcements, updates, and school information for our 2023 Fair!
Check out our 2020 Virtual ESF Panels!
