[quote=Anonymous]Primary Day focuses on reading and the basics. It is a phonics based program and your child will come out of PD a very strong reader. It is only a PK-2nd grade school so the specials are ok. They focus on small performances each week at school assemblies which parents are invited to. Each grade also does a grade performance with the 2nd grade French program the culmination.

It is a very traditional school and while there is not heavy support, if your child needs some extra help with reading your math, they will pull them in to a small group for extra work.

Going there for first grade will mean you will have to apply out for 2nd grade. Many PD graduates go on to Holton or Landon with a small minority each year going to Sidwell.

My child came out a great reader with excellent reading comprehension abilities.

Yes some of the teachers have been there a long time and with PD it is their way or the highway.

Norwood will allow you to go till 8th grade till needing to go elsewhere. They have good academics and a strong music program.

Green acres is the other end of the spectrum. You really cannot compare them as their educational philosophies are completely different.[/quote]
