[quote=Anonymous]Some corrections

2nd graders at SWS will take the DCCAS this year. They have already been taking the paced interim assessments

Reggio approach has very rarely, almost never been applied beyond kindergarten.  The move into the upper grades is experimental.  All we have been told as parents in that the educational approach ( not curriculum) will be project-based ( not Expeditionary Learning, which is one kind of project-based approach ).

That means that SWS will of course have all the same standards and assessments as the rest of DCPS, but will approach those standards in a cross-disciplinary way organized around themes that have popped up from the children's interests and questions.

It is still very much a work in progress. But I am confident the excellent administration and teachers will end up crafting a top notch school all the way through 5th grade. Personally I chose SWS partly for the respectful and developmentally appropriate approach to early childhood education but also because they are some of the finest teachers I have seen anywhere around DCPS.
