[quote=Anonymous]OP here, pushing the thread off in a bit of a different direction. How do the private schools establish curricular standards? I assume in the public system there is a committee of government-appointed bureaucrats which dictates textbooks/lesson plans/topics (though presumably schools vary in how they implement this). At the private schools, I think there are visiting committees of teachers from other private schools who review curriculum. But, is parental feedback sought in a meaningful way? Can I ask someone in the lower school for a copy of the most recent report on the curriculum review for topics (without labeling myself a PITA)? Clearly we could have researched all this last year before applying, but we only decided to apply in December so focused mainly on answering the essay questions. [/quote]
