[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know about the higher grades, but many of the parents of CMI kids in preschool and kinder are looking for play and outdoor time, not academics. They want something like is described in this article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/408325/

No worksheets, no homework, no drills, no tests. I don’t know if that’s what is “best”, but that’s what they want.[/quote]

Sure but do you think CMI is the only school that has no worksheets and outdoor play? Why not go for a school that has both? Do you really think CMI is that special? What are your plans for 3rd grade when your kid can’t read? [/quote]

Many many schools probably have less outdoor time and more "worksheets". Have you seen their playground? Certainly for a young kid it shows well. People can always move later.

It is a nice playground.  But I doubt they get more outdoor time than my kid at his IB DCPS preschool.  Also, I can't speak for all DCPS schools, but none of the ones I looked at had worksheets.  Now, if you were choosing between CMI and Appletree, I'd choose CMI.  But I'd take the IB DCPS over CMI because DCPS curriculum is play-based and there is more transparency about it.  [/quote]
