[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, do you like Bridges and are you staying next year? Why did you not pick Barnard (that's our IB and right now our only choice). Thanks. [/quote]

We like Bridges, and will likely stay.  We picked Bridges over Barnard for a few reasons.  Bridges was started as a PS/PK school only, and their early childhood education program is strong.  There is also a focus on inclusive education and they have a number of students with special needs, some of whom are integrated into the classroom, and some of whom are in separate classes.  Because of this, the teacher/student ratios are low (2:18 for PS and PK), and each child, regardless of ability, is evaluated and met where they are.  The attention seems to be very individualized, though I don't have anything else to compare it to.  We've also heard good things about Barnard, but we weren't sure we'd stay through 4th/5th.  We chose Bridges because we will likely only be there for a few years (ultimately, we want language immersion, so we did play the lotteries again hoping for a spot in a language charter), and wanted the strongest PS/PK program as well as the option of staying through elementary (assuming Bridges continues on its great trajectory).[/quote]
