[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After the open house I moved it from #2 to #6 on the application.  I did not think that the principal articulated clearly what separates this school from others. It seemed, for lack of a better word, a bit too fluffy. The focus is more on letting kids be kids than on academics and getting kids to read at an early age. The school environment and project were visually stunning. However, the approach did not resonate well with our family and it would not be a good fit even  on the unlikely chance that we got in.

I think you made a mistake. Having gone through this program twice when it didn't extend beyond K, I will admit that my children weren't reading by the end of K. But somehow over the summer, my children had the light go on and both ended up being voracious readers snd very good students going forward. The pre-literacy and pre-numeracy (?) education at SWS is second to none and the children don't get burned out on learning and school at an early age. It takes a little faith, but it works out well.[/quote]
