[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flora Singer has been an amazing experience for our two kids. School has a fantastic leader, great culture and develops both empathy and excellence among its students. Highly recommended. [/quote]

OP here- thanks so much! I've heard great things about Flora Singer and am getting more and more motivated to stay.  Can you tell me a little bit more about examples of how you have seen the school foster this culture, and how they develop empathy and excellence?  I have heard they have excellent teachers, too.  Examples help me visualize what this all means concretely.  I hope the principle is still there when it is our turn to go. What have you heard about the assistant principal? I have heard good things, but wanted to confirm.

New poster here. Flora Singer has always done a character curriculum and recently switched over to a newer program. The social emotional learning component is now embedded into the classrooms more, which I think is a big positive. Kids who have done good deeds get recognized each day on the morning announcements "turtle tales" so character is recognized daily. I have two kids at Singer. The teachers have been almost universally wonderful. The principal and assistant principal are both excellent... great with kids and good at communicating with parents. One of my kids is special needs and I think the principal went above and beyond at recommending programs for him and making sure he is accommodated and thriving. I highly recommend.  [/quote]

OP here- I love these examples! Thanks so much and thanks to everyone else for sharing thoughts and information! I see what makes it a really wonderful place.  If anyone else has examples of what you love (or don't) about your schools I'd love to hear them. [/quote]
