[quote=Anonymous]My kids go to Nysmith - happy to answer any questions. the longer post above is pretty accurate. Their whole schtick is differentiation up to four grade levels in math and language arts. They do push the kids ahead, but none of them seem stressed in the lower grades, but do seem stressed in the middle school grades. It's definitely a different model in that starting in kindergarten there are specialty teachers for every class, so your kids have 16 teachers during the course of the day (a lead and a co-teacher). They move classrooms from class to class. Just like with all schools there are great things and things we'd change, but for my kids it's been a good fit. The school definitely attracts nerdier/quirkier kids, so the social stress so far has been very low especially in comparison to the preschool we went to . .. I hear it does ramp up as the kids hit middle school.[/quote]
