[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long-time CMI parent here...please talk to parents in person at the school. There is so much misinformation on this board. I don't even know where to start. There is NOT a separate mission for the MS. The mission is the same. The parents who left for other MS school options left because it's a new MS with a small group of kids. If my kid were the leading edge, I would probably make the same choice. MS is a tough time to make your kid the Guinea pig. Having said this, the kids in the current 6th grade are really sweet, well-spoken, smart kids. They'll do well wherever they end up in the future.[/quote]

Please tour the MS and make the decision based on facts.  All the MS give tours and it's never too early to check then out.  Private have scholarships and it's great to see them too.  Base your decisions on your own eyes and what you see.  That's what I'll do.

That said, fellow long-time CMI parent and I agree with PP.  My kids won't be staying for MS.  But I'm basing my decision on a tour.[/quote]

Great advice PPs!  I am also a long time CMI parent and holy cow there is a lot of misinformation on the board!  First, I can tell you that of course I (and many other parents) are very concerned about academics.  We are multiple years away from MS and I am grateful for the option.  When the time comes, we will see if it's right for our DCs.  For now, I am happy to see a renovated brand new science lab, MS teachers with excellent credentials, and other additions.  In the mean time, our DCs love school, have learned a lot, and seem to be at about the same place as friends' kids who are at other elementary schools in the DMV.

Anyone who accuses our head of school (not using her name on purpose) of "strong arming" anyone has clearly never met her.  Wow.
