[quote=Anonymous]Holton LS parent here. 
We love the school - day to day operations run smoothly, communication is great and the teachers we have encountered in LS are really wonderful.

I have been impressed with everything the girls get exposed to throughout the year and the writing development in particular was a standout to me at recent parent/teacher conferences. 
There is also a clear emphasis placed on developing executive functioning skills (the girls are given a planner and taught to write in it every day).

They do a lot of social-emotional work in a period they call "Seminar", learn to use "I" statements, how to manage conflict, etc. and have focused on nutrition, self-care, etc. 
Some of this stuff I rolled my eyes at when we were applying, but I've been impressed that it hasn't just been fluff.

In general I feel like the girls accept new girls and are excited to have them. After a couple weeks everyone adjusts. I haven't heard reports of any cattyness or whatever, and I think the school is quick to put a stop to that kind of behavior in LS.

All the parents I've met so far have been nice and the community has been lovely. Like I said before, we are really happy there![/quote]
