[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The turnover is at the Tregaron campus. [/quote]

From my child's MS -&gt; HS class we had a few move to Europe and 1 or 2 move to other independent schools. That's not a lot of turnover. Our experience in the primary and middle schools was fantastic. And yes, the IB diploma program is VERY challenging.

There are a few parents early on who get spooked when their kindergartners aren't reading Harry Potter in English and &quot;everyone else's kids at Sidwell, etc., are!&quot; Apparently they missed the whole mission of the school: preK and K are conducted entirely in Spanish or French, so if your kid isn't reading Harry Potter when she's 6, you can't blame it on school. (Although when she's able to read Harry Potter in both English AND in Spanish or French later, you CAN thank the school.) Complaints about the later elementary years and middle school are few and far between, in my experience, and the only meaningful complaint I've ever heard about the IB diploma program is that it's really, really difficult and time-consuming.
