[quote=Anonymous]The anecdotes and scores at DCI discussed above are consistent with what we have heard. While I can agree with a philosophy about minimizing homework during elementary school years, I do believe homework is essential beginning in middle school. We were shocked when current DCI MS students told us they did not have homework. More rigor and tracking in MS would inevitably help raise IB scores in HS but we didn’t get the impression that this is a priority at DCI. I think families have to go in with their eyes open just like at any of the other schools and think about which part(s) of their child’s education they are prioritizing and which part(s) they are capable of supplementing to fill in gaps.[/quote]
