[quote=Anonymous]My daughters recently graduated from Beauvoir, and loved it (to the point of disliking long weekends because they had to miss school). It's very focused on the needs of young children, and "developmentally appropriate" is a watchword. That means there's less of kids reading aloud and less of math facts vs. concepts - because, they'll tell you, the research says there are better ways to spend school time. Outplacement was excellent - lots of help, lots of choices. And yes, they do "herd" kids, in all sorts of ways: the new 2nd graders were together, the kids who lived with one parent were together, the kids who were 3+ years ahead in math were together - anything where a child might feel as if she's the only one. They started rewriting the math curriculum in 2007, not sure how things stand at the moment.[/quote]
