[quote=Anonymous]My children are also in the lower school. The kids love their school and their classmates, who are really nice kids. The curriculum is strong - Dechantal students regularly are admitted to good high schools and, eventually, good colleges. To me, that is the best way to judge if a school's academics are strong. In addition to academics the children spend at least a few minutes each day thinking about right and wrong and how you should treat others. It is a "whole child" approach to education. Yes, there are a lot of spirit days and fun school activities. The "fun" side of deChantal is part of what makes my kids so happy to go to school each day. The deChantal school day is about 1 hour longer than MCPS' school day, so I think that they still have plenty of time to cover academics. The curriculum is not, however, identical to MCPS'. If you want your child to learn the MCPS curriculum, you should probably send your child to a MCPS school. [/quote]
