[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a current fifth Grader at fox chapel CES pgm. It's a good program, but in hindsight there are some negative qualities to the program that I had wished I had know or someone had told me before my child joined the program. 
Some of the teachers are great and some are ok. It's a hit or miss. The writing program is more challenging, but the math itself is the same if not less challenging when compared to our home school.
My child has been in instrumental music both years at fox chapel and we have not been impressed with the music department and dr. Fazio. Again it's ok. Many things about the school are ok. Nothing great or spectacular. One thing is the writing program is challenging, lots of books to read and write. So if your child likes to write and read a lot then the pgm is for you, since it is a completely humanities based program.

It is true making friends is easy at the pgm because everyone is new.

Also parents should be prepared to not have any role what so ever in the classroom, no volunteering or involvement at Halloween parties( which are actually called harvest festival or something like that) or valentine day parties. The only contact I have had with the kids or the classroom are at field trips if I chaperone. The Teachers kind of encourage the parents NOT to be involved. It's a tad bit weird.

Overall, the pgm is ok, for us we would definitely rethink attending the pgm if we had known these facts.[/quote]
