[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a significant difference between a center AAP and a local full-time AAP? Debating on whether or not to keep my child at the same school with local full-time AAP or send my child to Springfield Estate Elementary as a center school. [/quote]

My child is a 3rd grader at Springfield Estates. We went to the open houses for both schools. I had been leaning heavily towards staying at the home school, but they seemed to phone it in and couldn't answer basic questions. I'm not sure how one teacher can differentiate to the extent needed when there are AAP and non-AAP kids in the class. Springfield Estates teachers came to the open house to sell their program.

There are two 3rd grade AAP classes at Springfield Estates. My child's teacher is very enthusiastic. I've heard good things about the other teacher, too. I have seen what my child is doing and what the kids are our home school are doing, and it's very different. The work isn't hard per se, but there is more of it and the math is accelerated. There is a lot of focus on language arts (vocab, grammar) in addition to math. They also do some interesting projects. Everyone there is extremely friendly. Many of my child's friends also went to Springfield Estates, and they have been able to maintain friendships with kids at the home school, which was my main concern. [/quote]
