[quote=Anonymous]Look. There is no Reggio beyond K and maybe 1st grade at SWS. The school has a lovely culture that is Reggio-infused but there has been to Reggio principles applied in 2nd and 3rd grades. It is just a normal math, reading, smattering of social studies, science in the form of FoodPrints kind of experience in the upper grades. The closest I have seen to a project-based student-curiosity centered activity was not even led by a classroom teacher, it was the awesome librarian who put on a show that the kids wrote and put together all on their own.  There are no special programs ( book clubs, pull outs ) for advanced readers and no advanced math.  The math is actually solid but pretty slow in the 3rd grade. My student could be doing a lot more, but hasn't been asked to.   This is the first time Sws has ever done 3rd grade, it will take a while to get it all together and figure out how it becomes Reggio. One thing I can say is that the building is chock full of dedicated, talented and creative educators and that's all I care about. Kids will do fine at Latin and Basis with a basic ( doesn't need to be advanced ) elementary education. [/quote]
