[quote=Anonymous]I agree w.PP. I think out kids' "progressive" school is not really very daring or experimental when it comes to curriculum: the kids are basically studying the same things at the same time and in much the same way our friends kids do them at more "traditional" privates. If anything I am a bit frustrated: I had expected more creativity on the academic side, but though I think it's fine, it's not really very different. The "progressiveness" does come through more socially: the school is definitely VERY nurturing, accepting of difference, non-cliquish, etc., and it attracts families who value that. It's basically a very nice, low-key community: absolutely zero feeling of one-upsmanship among either kids or parents. To us, this in itself makes it worth keeping our kids there...[/quote]
