[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are always posters around ready to tee up some hate for the area privates who serve a variety of learners. Doesn't matter if some of the students are accepted to ivies, if every kid didn't have to have top test scores to get in they consider the school "a joke".

St Johns doesn’t have many different learning styles what it hais Catholic parents that want that type of schooling .

College admits from St Johns are way below public

Great your kid got an education in Catholicism more than a secular great education

If that’s what you want for your kid more power to you.

Yes, isn’t it great parents have these choices?  You can send your kids to a school you like even if other parents make a different choice

And wouldn’t it be great if every private school had a program like SJC’s Benilde, for students with learning differences?  It’s really popular. Does your child’s school have a structured program for students with LDs?[/quote]

The Benilde program is similar to scholars in that the student takes regular classes along with the rest of the student population.  It is not a specially developed program with specific classes or teachers for what it's worth. A friend just went through the application process and decided the GC Ryken program was much stronger.  Honestly, SJC's Scholars and Benilde programs feel like label slapping to me.[/quote]

Yes, Benilde and Ryken operate on different models, mostly depending the level of supports a student needs. Students in Ryken take program-specific classes; students in Benilde take standard classes and the program staff work with them every day to provide specific and regular supports to help each individual succeed. Isn’t it great these two schools offer choices for students who learn differently?  Does your school have any such program?
