[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is in the lower school at Auburn Silver Spring and they recently lost staff including the Director of Admissions who seemed to run things. Overall I like many specialists at the school and generally, their heart seems in the right place but we are saddled with a very problematic teacher. Given that we are new to the school, what are others’ experiences there? Is it worth sticking it out which will require a tutor because of poor instruction?[/quote] We recently toured Auburn as a potential placement, I had my hesitation. The school is a bit messy, things were not in the right place, even the entrance was a bit piled up. I also didn't see much staff there, feels empty and disorganized to me. I also toured the Philips program. it was a day and night difference. Philips was so organized and the staff were warm and seems to know what they are doing. [/quote]

Current Auburn parent here. Your assessment of the school is very judgemental without seeming to know much. The "messy" front entrance is where the students have their cardboard OT projects. My kid talks non stop about the project. The teachers at Auburn are amazing and go above and beyond for the kids. I imagine you did not see much staff because they are in the classrooms doing their job. With that, if you did not see much staff how can you measure the "warmth" of the school? There is no denying that the school is going through some stuff, but I have never seen a more dedicated group of individuals. The company that owns them does not define their model or the care that they have for each kid. [/quote]
