[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was accepted at GDS from a PK-8 last year. Obviously, the HS application process is stressful, but I'm happy my child had the chance to think about what he wanted in a high school. I'm also thrilled he had to navigate a new school situation before going to college. He strengthened the skills necessary to make friends and integrate into a community. Pros and cons on both sides of the coin so I thought I would mention this pro![/quote] I agree. My 8th grader at a K-8 is so incredibly excited about a new experience at a larger school. I think it will be good preparation for thinking about college applications, fit and trying new things. I’m a fan of the K-8 experience for a bunch of reasons. It seems that kids get to be kids, the middle school focus has great SE learning opportunities, the teachers are amazing, etc etc. [/quote]
