[quote=Anonymous]I think for any offerings at MS, critical mass is really critical, be it for offering a second language, specials, advanced courses, extra-curricular affairs. For my emerging middle schooler, who does well in school and has a really broad spectrum of interests, I'm looking for a school with that critical mass. What I like about Eliot-Hine is that they separate student communities by grade level, each with its own colors and on its own floor. (I've only been in a couple of times but it looks to me that E-H has a gorgeous building and space to grow!) This configuration helps create small communities within which students know one another and staff knows students, while offering critical mass within the school as a whole to go beyond basics. While I like IB and the external accountability that comes with it, I too think that's no panacea. Would love to see Eliot-Hine as our option. It's close and its backing with Eastern gives it opportunities to make MS-HS transition easier and to benefit from HS offerings, during school and out of school time.[/quote]
