[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree you should look at Concord Hill, they do a great job building kids' confidence. Their head of school greets kids at their car each morning shakes their hands -- it makes for impressive kids. Small schools are a great place to look. My kids didn't take at all to Primary Day, [b]it was too overwhelming[/b]. Also check out Norwood, Beauvoir, and Feynman. [/quote]

In what way(s)?[/quote]

He didn't like the way kids had to sit in rows and stay still for some classes. He thought there was a lot of pressure to behave in a certain way, to learn in a prescribed way, and to do what they told him to do and nothing else. He cried on the way home from his visit. We have neighbors and friends whose kids have gone and loved it. We have friends whose older child loved it, but the younger one hated it. [/quote]

Kids don’t sit in rows and movement is incorporated into every class. Kids do not sit still for long periods. This is false. I’m not sure how a school with only 110 families and class sizes bw 12-18 can be considered overwhelming. I’m sure every school has some parent that did something that someone else thought was judgemental, however I have found the parents to be warm and friendly.  Visit the school and talk to actual parents of students, not anonymous people trying to start drama. [/quote]

Actually they used to which is why I didn’t send my kids after visitingvfor a tour. That was a long time ago, about seven years ago. [/quote]
