[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the one who referred to Sheridan having large classes and I was only answering OP's question.  Its a wonderful school, I've heard only good things about it, but if a child needs small classes, Sheridan won't do.  Breakout groups won;t solve the problem because the problem isn't just with academics.  I have one child who went to a school with 22 in a class and did just fine.  My other DC would never be able to attend in a class that size.  Since thats the specific issue OP was asking about, it doesn't help her to suggest Sheridan, even though it is wonderful in many other ways.

Also, they have been known to oversubscribe and have more than 24 kids in a class.  Since they can't add a classroom, if more kids accept admission than they antivipate, they end up with unusually large classes.[/quote]

"Been known to oversubscribe"?? Where are you getting your information? At the most, there are 25 kids in a class. My son is a K student right now at Sheridan and there are 25 kids in the class. I guess thats oversubscribing beyond the advertised number of 24.  I have an older child at Sheridan as well. But regardless, the kids are split in 1/2 groups to do everything. They do an incredible job at classroom management and providing a wonderful experience for the kids. It is a small school that also provides instruction to kids in SMALL groups. [/quote]
