[quote=Anonymous]None in particular. I think any of them that are preparing you to test out/for tests (K-8 or public) are going to be stronger, academically, in the lower years, as they have a greater emphasis on fundamentals, like grammar and writing mechanics, whereas the private schools do more hands-on-learning, field trips, etc. My child is in MS at a (I hate the term) "TT" school. I have friends with kids across the divisions (LS, MS, and US) at other "TT" schools, both in Manhattan and in Hill schools, and they say the same. Now, is it going to be a smidge difficult to compete to get out of those K-8 schools? Perhaps. But that is why people start applying out early - to beat the rush for G9. Ha![/quote]
