[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are interested in applying for middle school placement via the lottery this October,  but we're not familiar with how teaching is done at the school. From what we gather from the HB-Woodlawn's website, it seems that there is a higher degree of independent study given to students. Do HB Woodlawn middle schoolers spend their time doing their own research and planning their coursework independently (akin to college-style study), or do they rely on designated textbooks and workbooks outlined by the teacher? How much face-to-face teaching and assessment quizzes are given at the school?

The next lottery will open next December, and around that same time there will also be an information night where they will explain their philosophy and independent study, etc. and much more.   You should plan to attend - usually a weeknight around 7 pm.   And no, it's not like college, it's very much like at the other middle schools, but counselors help them plan their curriculum and there is some flexibility as they progress to higher grades.
