[quote=Anonymous]We don’t have experience at the upper school yet but the lower school does a wonderful job with differentiation and meeting kids where they are. If they need extra support they receive it, and the extra challenges are there for kids who want that as well. The middle school seems to be more traditional in terms of tests and memorizing as opposed to deep thinking. Kids who need extra support receive it but then there doesn’t seem to be the capacity to challenge the kids who are ready for more. It’s not my ideal but it seems like maybe that improves in the upper school. We’ll see. Agree with others that it’s not in the same zip code as Sidwell or NCS or Holton-Arms, and I think for many that’s a feature not a bug. They care at least as much about kids having a joyful experience as they do about academics - possibly more. So if rigor is the main thing you want for your kids, it’s probably not the best fit.[/quote]
