[quote=Anonymous]ummm, Browne is not a progressive school. It's about as traditional as you can get. If you want progressive, Burgundy is your school. Be careful of thinking small is good for a shy or introverted child. Small is NOT good if the personality mix is difficult in a given grade. Imagine if you were stuck in a classroom with 8 other kids and couldn't connect with any of them? In a larger school, kids who are quirky or shy are actually more likely to find other kids who have similar interests and personalities. A friend of mind sent her kid to Maret because it was "small," and it worked out okay until the small social environment became stultifying and claustrophobic. In a small school, it's impossible to escape bad classroom dynamics when there's only one class. Grace Episcopal in Alexandria has the same issue after about 3rd grade. [/quote]
