[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know one child that apllied and haven’t heard of one child going there. Did they accept anyone or is it too much of an unknown to open up this fall?[/quote]
I know three kids who are enrolled and going in the fall.[/quote]

I'm curious.  Are they all in the same family?  What was the motivation of the families?[/quote]
No. Three separate families. During the info sessions, they said all of the right things. If you're a parent that is willing to take the risk and it works out then you've gotten in on the ground floor of something transformative. What's the worst that can happen? [b]It is an accredited place[/b] and the students will not lose anything by attending for a year. If it doesn't work out then you find another school the following year. Some people are willing to jump in with both feet and others are not. I think it's that simple.

My children are not attending Whittle. I did attend many info sessions and I met a lot of the people who will be working there. They are all smart, engaged and committed educators. The Head of School is the real deal. Many of them have uprooted their lives and left really good, comfortable positions to follow the light. The problem is that for that amount of tuition people want a track record and proven results.

I hope they succeed and put some pressure on some of the schools to reevaluate how they approach education.[/quote]

It cannot possibly be accredited.[/quote]
