[quote=Anonymous]Montessori, OP.  I’m not in the area anymore so I cannot give specific school suggestions, but I’d start looking into private Montessori elementary schools.  The one my children went to had no screens used in classroom or childcare.  The exceptions were they used them for standardized testing twice per year and the older elementary kids would type some papers.  All the kids brought packed lunches and school provided a heathy snack for childcare (usually whole fruit). There was a kitchen in the classroom monthly the older kids would pick a “hot lunch” meal, plan out the ingredients, budget, shop for it and cook it from scratch as part of their morning work and serve to the rest of class.  Montessori schools can vary and some are better than others, so definitely go look and ask questions about academic curriculum and how kids are regularly assessed.

My kids went through 6th grade and had zero issues moving on to public school.  They probably could have skipped middle school all together, that is how far ahead academically they were [/quote]
