[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We send our son to a progressive private in DC.   Every time I think we might transfer him back to public (janney, later Deal), we balk.  Why:  the *** curriculum ** at his school is so much richer than what DCPS has to offer -- even at Janney, even at Deal.

So then we thought, why not Latin?  because on paper, it sounds like DH's alma mater, which he loved so much (Columbia College).   Close, but still not quite.   Too wide a range of students, which has the effect of watering down the work assigned in classes that sound really good on paper.   [/quote]

Please describe the highlights of the curriculum that you believe is missing. Thanks.[/quote]

Ds's school has a broader range of Lit that starts earlier and, judging on the finished work product, seems to delve deeper into the elements of the book.   I only know what Latin chooses to display/share though.

I was impressed with the reading list provided by Latin.  I was mostly unimpressed, with some bright exceptions, with the middle school students' work related to these books.  [/quote]
