[quote=Anonymous]OP, this should go without saying, but... go visit. Ask if you can observe in the classroom. Ask for names and contact info for current parents. Attend a parent event and chat with as many people as you can. In my experience people are generally honest about what they do and don't like. Burgundy is a small school. It is unique in many ways, and not everyone's cup of tea. Some people will hate the very things others love. (Mixed age classes! Calling teachers by first names! Etc.) Also, some teachers have been there forever, but others turn over every few years. Unsurprisingly, there will be parents who say "oh yes my kid went there and it was horrible" and other parents who will says "oh it was great." But a bad (or good) experience some other family had five or ten years ago has zero relevance to whether you and your child would like the place a year from now.[/quote]
