[quote=Anonymous]Pros: great community, superb teachers, great location and building, large outside space with nature center and playground. Solid academics, very good art and music programs, Chinese teaching adapted to each kid, public school (free!) with bus service (not free) from Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Mt Pleasant and U street, great after school programs (including sports, chess, Chinese song and dances,...) at a reasonable price. Cons: Not super strong in STEM, no American history so far (but Chinese history was done a bit). No American flag nor pledge of allegiance as far as we know (a bit of patriotism would not hurt.) A large emphasis on testing even at the K level. Awful communication with management (they seem to have an insider circle and the rest of us is ignored). Net result: Happy with the school as there are many more pros than cons -- We supplement at home for math/science and some world/US history. Great school. Good luck to everyone applying! [/quote]
