I will add that all schools (even schools like IT) tend to become more academic once you hit 2nd grade. [/quote] Yes, and my child has also attended Shepherd past the second grade, which is why I feel confident making that statement. I think it's a fantastic school. But it is not a creative school. It is a school where your child's classroom assignments will all be based on very strict rubrics. It is a school where the academics are channelled, quite specifically, to align with a version of IB teaching that isn't really all about creativity. None of that is BAD, at all. But the OP asked for a school for a creative DD. Shepherd is not a good fit. If you don't believe me, go down to the playground after school and ask some parents if they think the school is a good creative fit. [/quote]
