[quote=Anonymous]We made the move at the elementary level for a school with a really integrated curriculum. Meaning every few weeks they pick one overarching topic area and teach all of the core and extracurricular subjects through the lens of it. (India, The Middle Ages, etc.) They also have small class sizes and a high teacher/student ratio that allow for more collaborative learning versus straight instruction. (not in DC) I have a super-curious, creative kid who was really bored with traditional teaching by subject area. Smart, but hated school. They had a million things they independently wanted to learn about instead of doing another math worksheet. They are so much happier now because they have a place to exercise their curiosity with other like-minded kids. They're doing great with reading, math, etc. too, but all of those subjects are much more fun now. [/quote]
