[quote=Anonymous]Green Acres is a really happy and engaging place. DS is eager to go to school every day. He comes home and talks excitedly about what he is doing in school, particularly in science, language arts and social studies. We appreciate that the curriculum is developmentally appropriate and makes connections to the real world. We especially love the amount of time spent outdoors. DS is challenged without being stressed which is just what we wanted. He has a cousin at Norwood in the same grade. The main difference is that Norwood teaches in a traditional format and Green Acres is progressive. Lots of leaning by doing, collaboration and applying concepts to real world problems. This authentic approach really engages DS.

Green Acres is small which has worked well for us. The teachers really understand my son's strengths and weaknesses. They have worked with him to better organize himself and find his voice in the classroom. When he had a health issue in the fall, everyone at the school was wonderfully supportive so he didn't fall behind.

Green Acres is a very special place!
