[quote=Anonymous]Sheridan parent here. You should ask the school admin for their own self assessment of where the school stands.  The curriculum definitely has a social justice component. Kids will learn about food insecurity, racism, red lining, etc. at the age-appropriate grade and time. There is a young activist club in the middle school for kids who want to do more. There are also affinity groups for Students of Color, LGBTQ+,  etc. These groups are for those who want to join. It should be noted that there are definitely right leaning/Republican families at the school. You might ask to speak with them - even though you aren't right leaning - because you could see what their comfort level is. One thing you might like is that kids are taught to understand all sides of an issue.  They participate in debates in older grades and kids must assume/defend points of view that may differ from their own to better understand where others are coming from.  In my estimation, GDS, Burke and Lowell are probably slightly to the left of Sheridan if that helps. I'd say Sheridan is more "activist" than Sidwell, Maret (though it could be close), the Cathedral schools, St. Pats, NPS, WIS. You get the idea. [/quote]
