[quote=Anonymous]Holy redeemer in College Park is very structured and a loving, warm environment. preK-8. But if you live in DC that might be too far so I'd say any small parochial school is probably going to have the structure you're looking for. I know that for one of my kids, we thought a public montessori would be a good fit because they'd have more 'freedom of choice'. Well turns out it was a disaster. Our kid wasn't as self motivated as we expected, especially in a chaotic classroom where everyone did different things, and we felt that instead of real exploration, common core worksheets were the norm and yes, they could do this at their own pace, but it was horrendously boring and uninteresting. They remembered far more (and still do ) from their time in a regular classroom, with instruction from a teacher and interesting topics being covered. And the best thing is that they felt they were learning something. I don't doubt that when done properly montessori is great, and I certainly really like the materials, but if the classroom isn't well managed it can be a disaster, and it certainly isn't for every child.
