[quote=Anonymous]Eaton parent here. We also moved from abroad to join at the start of Pre-K, 1st and 4th grade. Even with the slightly uncomfortable transition space, it has been the right decision.

I like the Eaton community. It is diverse, inclusive, accepting. My kids friends have parents who are LGBT, recent immigrants, ambassadors, well off, struggling to make ends meet, activists, journalists, business owners - kind of a cross section of this city. Somehow the pieces fit together, and there is a legitimate sense of community for all. As a new family, we found people welcoming without being overbearing - totally perfect.

The teachers and support staff are top notch. I could not ask for more engaging, invested support. People know and care about my kids and their learning trajectories, offering suggestions and support during our transition well beyond what I expected. And the school rallies to pay for language, music, art and other bonus classes that provide a rounded experience for all students.

I do think the transition space this year isn't a highpoint for the school, but it's only one more year and they'll be back in a new campus.  They've done a good job of maintaining the feel and traditions of the school in the new space. I'm still glad we made the choice to live in the Eaton district. [/quote]
