[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have toured all three schools and am looking for a school for my DC to start Kindergarten next fall.  So I have no direct experience with any of the schools, but will share my experience and perspective on the tours and admissions process.

Burgandy seems great for the independent child and the families that want to encourage independence.  They walk from class to class alone ( but the teachers keep tabs on them).  I think they get more outdoor and nature exposure which is nice.  It's less structured which doesn't suit my personality, but would be great for some.  It seems like a happy place, but definitely not the right place for every kid/family.  The families there seem to be more liberal. THe families there seem to be close. ( in a good way, not an exclusive way)  The school seems to have a strong emphasis on art. (from what i could tell).  They don't have a lot of emphasis on sports, but it seems their physical education and activities are strong and unique.

The parent community at all schools seemed great to me.  And all the schools seemed to place some emphasis on helping the world around you which i thought was great.  There were no red flags at any of the schools for me.  I do think that Burgandy is a completely different kind of school that is going to be right for some and not for others.  The other two are more mainstream schools from what I could tell.

That is my opinion![/quote]

And, OP, for many, many opposing views concerning Burgundy, please conduct word-searches for Burgundy on this board.  You'll see numerous critical comments from prior and current Burgundy families.

You will of course also see numerous positive comments from current and prior Burgundy families, many querying the motivations and facts proffered by some of the critics. But hey, this is DCUM. YMMV. Visit the schools; talk to parents. Rely on the exmissions data the schools provide, not on what some random person says on this board. [/quote]
