[quote=Anonymous]We really like the differentiated instruction in math. My kid is challenged and we also supplement at home (only because we are alpha parents!). My kid has also developed a love for science because the teachers make the subject interesting and hands-on. Lots of creative projects. Language (Spanish in lower school) is taught to the middle, so native speakers don't find it sufficiently in-depth and many of their kids take weekend language classes. The teachers know my kid's strengths and weaknesses and we get constructive feedback during parent teacher conferences. The school is planning to introduce "team teaching" in lower school which will reduce travel time between classes and give the homeroom teachers more teaching time and exposure to the individual kids. The new lower school head was formerly a teacher at Sidwell. She is intelligent, experienced, super enthusiastic about the new changes that are being introduced, and very open. [/quote]
