[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in 6th grade on at GDS MS (5th was very recently added to MS, and I understand it's the same), kids go to different classrooms/teachers for their different subjects. (The pandemic of course greatly impacted this for the 20-21 school year.). A kid isn't with the same group of students all day, It's pretty much the same as what you would have in any public MS, just smaller classes and far fewer kids in each grade. I have no idea how Sidwell does it, but I can't imagine it's much different, but maybe it is.[/quote] Sidwell 5th grade kids are in their first year of middle school and have one dedicated teacher and classroom with 18-19 kids for English/History/Math, etc. They have separate teachers for science, art/drama, PE, language (Chinese or Spanish), and music. [/quote] And when they go to those science, art/drama, language and music classes, it is often half going to the special and half staying with the homeroom teacher.[/quote]
