[quote=Anonymous]We love Norwood! I have two kids there and small class size is a big part of why we chose it. My child in lower school is in a homeroom with 20 kids with 2 head teachers. But, in practice, learning is done in much smaller groups. They are split into smaller groups for specials (art, PE, music, spanish etc) as well as reading and math, so it's a ton of attention from teachers. But I do like that he has the opportunity to play with the full class at recess--a much smaller homeroom can be a bit stifling socially. My middle schooler is in classes of 12ish most of the day (they switch between teachers for different subjects) and we've been thrilled with the balance of support/pushing him to be more independent. Both of my kids are very advanced in math but needed extra support in reading. They will throw as much challenge as you want and do it on a very individual level in our experience. My middle schooler really enjoys reading now in a way I couldn't have imagined when he was in 1st/2nd grade. [/quote]
