[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre expansion SWS offered a whopping 2 years of EC, after which it fed to ... Watkins. The SWS community wanted to extend SWS more than avoid Watkins. Plenty of SWS kids have older siblings at Watkins, so there are families vested in both schools.

And I'm sorry, but if you don't believe SWS was on the chopping block after having its budget slashed you seriously don't know what you're talking about.

Plenty of SWS kids also leave for K at St. Peters and CHDS. This is going to be interesting for all those private/parochial school- intending parents who have used SWS as a free way to get EC. I will enjoy the show, but think this is bad for SWS and for the Hill in general.[/quote]

Even with a move to temporary space, there was not a whole lot of attrition (roughly 3/4 rose from SWS at Peabody to SWS at Logan).  And as a previous commenter noted, much of that attrition was SWS to PEABODY.

I'm sure not all parents were interested in the trailers without an end game in sight at that point. . .[/quote]

people who knew the program well were confident they'd make the pods work.  some of us were pleasantly surprised it was only one year and not two at Logan as initially proposed.

Let's not forget that Cap Hill Day School recently spent a full school year in a temporary space -- pods, trailers, whatever -- at the SE Waterfront.  It's not like they discounted tuition or bled enrollment.[/quote]
