[quote=Anonymous]Yes -- MCPS BCC cluster. Our kids went to public ES; math and reading instruction were excellent, but everything else just "meh". In particular, the writing curriculum was dull and dogmatic; science and social studies were virtually non-existent. We tried middle school for a year with the oldest, then switched to private; our youngest is now a senior. What we like about our independent school: our kids learned to write well, think critically and creatively, and to be confident public speakers. The curriculum was challenging in all areas, so they developed great work habits. The small class size facilitated great relationship with teachers who had the time to become mentors and friends. Our 2 oldest, who are now in college, were very well prepared to be successful students at great schools; we have every reason to expect that the same will be true of the youngest. [/quote]
