[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMI parent here.  What new lab?  What IB program?  What academic rigor?

CMI uses an IPC program.  I know of a science room that is being used as a main 6th grade room, but I would hardly call it a science lab.  Golnar said that she was expanding the MS because CMI families in older grades approached her and said that their children need CMI for MS.  I read between the lines that it meant that she was creating specifically to offer a non-academic MS for those students who needed a CMI type of place for MS.

ES follows an inclusionary model but the MS is tailored For SN students.  As the parent of a SN child, I understand that creating something that works for my child with lots of stability, flexibility, and support, but few transitions (no class changes), low academic expectations, and no new challenges means that it's a terrible fit for college-bound students.  I hope CMI MS will have an inclusionary model for MS, too, but it will need significant more finances to attract potential students (or keep current ones).  It would need a science lab (not a regularly used 6th grade classroom that just uses tall tables and stools).  It would help if our $300,000 could be re-directed towards actual academics instead of our aesthetically pleasing playground.[/quote

Hey, that "science room" has Bunsen burners, microscopes and other science equipment.

And your "reading between the lines" is completely false.  What she meant, and what she has said many times", is that CMI wanted its elementary  students to continue in a strong academic environment, which as we all know is lacking at many DC MS.

Why would you circulate erroneous information about your child's school??
