[quote=Anonymous]we visited Feynman a few months ago. i would give it a 7 out of 10. it all felt like owners were trying to hype it up.

i believe admission requirement was IQ of 130+ and some interview that they would not detail (i think they did not want the kid to be prepped)

We have two kids that are normal-smart not omg-super-smart-doing-algebra-in-KG and we felt that they would fit in just fine...

We did not like that the school was mainly focused on one kid (the owners daughter). it felt like she was getting a super treatment and best teachers (several) were allocated for her. it kind of felt that the rest of the school was there as a framework to support her education.

at that time,  our DC was  in KG, going to a local Montessori school that had really good teachers and really good teacher student ratio. We were looking at Feynman for 1st grade and up. During the visit we felt that Feynman was very comparable to our KG. Maybe if we came from public or from some home day care we would have felt differently. basically we were expecting that we  would be blown away and we were not (not even close).

In the end we chose to go to another Montessori in MoCo that has good elementary program. teachers work with each kid in a very individualized way.

we also work on academic things at home, kumon, Singapore math, ixl.com, we read lot so books..
