[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are also considering. Does anyone have experience with Chevy Chase ES program? [/quote]

Congratulations!  Our DC is at (well, sort-of right now) the CES program at CCES, and it has been a fantastic experience.  What makes the program are the teachers.  They have been incredibly dedicated and creative, and were really able to engage and challenge our DC.  Our DC loved all the individual and group projects.  I know others may disagree about the value of the CES program, for whatever reason, but the CES program made all the difference for our DC, and were it not for the logistics of getting to Eastern or Takoma Park, we'd be continuing with the magnet programs.  If we knew then what we know now, we would have made the decision immediately to send our DC to the CCES CES program.  The only real downside is that the CES kids do not really have much opportunity to mix with the home school kids; lunch is pretty much it.  So you end up having two schools in the same building, and I suspect that some home school families resent that.  Also, as much as you might try, it's just hard to stay as involved in the school compared to your homeschool.  I guess transportation logistics also matter; the bus was easy and quick for us, but some kids ride an hour or more to get to school.
