[quote=Anonymous]Starting at which grade? Don't know much of Norwood. GAS has pros and cons, a lot will depend upon the fit of the school for your child and for you all. GAS has a beautiful campus and relaxed atmosphere. My child really got to be a kid--being outside, playing, learning. That was terrific for the early years. But it turned out that my child needed more rigor and especially in the lower grades, the teachers were unable/unwilling to offer more academic challenge. There is a tremendous range of student abilities/challenges at GAS, and my child felt that the energy of the teachers was directed towards the kids who were struggling. It's a lot of $$ to pay for your child to be bored. I also know families that left because the specialized needs of their child could not be met at Green Acres. There is little to no homework/testing/grades until 7th and 8th grade. For some that's great, and that's what's best for the child and the family. But if that doesn't work for you as a parent or for your kid, then consider whether it's the right environment.[/quote]
