[quote=Anonymous]NPS.  Mostly because the teachers and administrators really "get" kids and understand and celebrate the needs of different children.  I have a "fidgety" child and he has never been scolded for being so.  Instead, his teachers appreciate that some kids just need to run around, touch things and be kids and encourage parents to appreciate this also.  You won't see the kids doing many worksheets, instead, they do a lot of hands-on learning and educational games.  The academics are top-notch and kids are allowed to learn at their own pace.  There are two recesses every day plus PE 3xs a week.

St. Patrick's is similar in many ways.  The main reason we chose NPS over StP's is that class size is smaller at NPS.  The K classes are 12-15 kids per class vs. StP's where they are 20+.  We felt like a bigger class size offers more distractions and our child would be more likely to focus and participate in a smaller setting.  However, I'd encourage you to take a look at StP's too as we know many happy active boys there also.[/quote]
