[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might help if you elaborate upon what low tech looks like to you and other criteria are you looking for beyond low tech.  How low is low to you? What do you think replaces use of tech? Worksheets printed off the internet? Teacher writing on a chalk board? Actual text/library books? Are you wanting old school, traditional/classical or progressive experiential learning? I'm not aware of any mainstream schools that don't use some occasional tech. Most of the schools listed above are either religious/traditional/classic or St Anselm's is all boys for the very bright.  I think there are going to be a lot of trade-offs in looking for a school with low tech at all times for the sake of low tech.  [/quote]

Thank you for the questions. My child has anxiety and OCD. He is bright but not gifted. Computer use gives him headaches and eye strain and exacerbates his anxiety. I also follow the research that national test scores have consistently decreased since Ed tech was introduced to schools, so I want him to be using paper and pencil and reading out of real books. I’m not opposed to a religious school, but I would prefer secular. We would consider all boys but prefer co-ed. Hope that helps. We are unfamiliar with the area and appreciate any recommendations.
