[quote=Anonymous]1.Field trips are a bigger part of the early childhood/elementary grades than in middle school. I can't remember the early grade field trips so well but I remember trips to farms, mills, trips to see Native American dug out canoes in 2nd grade, Williamsburg in 3rd and Ellis Island in 4th that were definitely linked to the curriculum. Many of the field trips in early childhood are also related to their art classes which CHDS may take more seriously than other places. In middle school, trips drop off and are even more strongly linked to course material. 2. There is probably still a social benefit to living on the Hill but a third of the kids do come from other places. 3. Admissions are very competitive in early childhood and lower grades. Less so in upper grades. 4. See above. The middle school is definitely a big step up in work. [/quote]
