[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP asking about whether to enrol her/his child with special needs: We are one of the families who left/was counseled out a couple years ago due to the school's abysmal special ed system. It's great to hear that they have a new coordinator, but everyone involved at the time - from the E.D. to the principal to the classroom teacher to the sped coordinator and providers - had one goal, and that goal was to deny services to SN students. I would not feel comfortable recommending SSMA to another SN parent unless all of those people have been replaced and there has been some sort of radical shift in attitudes towards differential instruction. At the time, the party line was that they would only do things the Montessori way, and that did not include legally-mandated accommodations for children with different learning needs. I find the Montessori excuse rather specious because other Montessori charters manage to accommodate SN kids just fine. [/quote]

NP. Also Maria Montessori started her work with underprivileged and disabled children. No excuse for them not accommodating learning differences.
