[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's strange is that both posters are reporting the same facts, but have dramatically differing views on the school. We are on the fence about sending our kid to WO, so any more information about the school would really be appreciated.[/quote]

I'm the PP who is reasonably happy with WO, but it doesn't surprise me that people have differing views--kids have different needs, parents have different perspectives, expectations, values and experiences.  I would highly recommend asking White Oaks  if they have any parents from your base school who would be willing to talk to you about their experiences.  Probably best to talk to someone a few years in rather than just a current 3rd grade who has a little more perspective.  A back and forth can help you see how closely the parents' values and concerns align with yours.  Because you are currently at the base school, you are more likely to have already heard perspectives of parents who didn't opt for the program or who decided to leave, but if you haven't sought those perspectives out--I would do so--maybe talk to the AART teacher for recommendations if you don't know anyone.

Good luck with your decision--I think something to remember is that the options are all pretty good and nothing is irreversible. If you go to the center and don't find it a good fit, you can return to the base school.  If you stay at the base school and decide to attend the following year, you can make the switch.  Yes, it might be more ideal not to have that disruption, but most kids are adaptable.    [/quote]
