[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the difference between Brent and Maury, in terms of programs? What about JO Wilson or Ludlow-Taylor? They both have some good (and some mixed) reviews here.

If I come down the week after spring break will I be able to do some informal tours? [/quote]

Brent is predominantly an IB school with a high-SES population.  The school will have three 3rd Grade classrooms next year, most likely with fewer than 20 students in each.  Math curriculum is Investigations.  ELA curriculum is Reader's Workshop.  Dedicated science teacher who also works with advanced math learners.  Chinese (Mandarin) language program through George Mason Univ./Confucius Institute.  Excellent music/performing arts program.  Subsidized before care from 8-8:30 subsidized by the PTA; fee-based aftercare provided through Springboard with options like Chess Club, Tae Kwan Do, CHAW (local arts organization), ice skating, and video game design until 6:30.  PTA allocates up to $750 for professional development for each teacher annually and funded a math specialist to work more intensively with upper grade teachers this year.  Community-based activities include active Little League, Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts.  Call Brent's Business Manager and I am pretty confident you can be accommodated for a visit.[/quote]
