[quote=Anonymous]OP, Maret and Sheridan have some differences in their approaches to teaching and in their school cultures.  Ask yourself if you are committed to providing your child with a progressive education or if you are interested in one that is more traditional.  Sheridan places a heavy emphasis on interactive learning, problem solving, and social/emotional development.  While Maret uses interactive learning, it does not strive to embrace the progressive model.

Our child is at one of these schools but we have friends with kids at both.  All are happy with their school choice.  The difference that I see is in the preference of the family for the approach to teaching and learning.  One is not necessarily better than the other.  Some families prefer (and students thrive with) one over the other.

In which environment will your child thrive?  I'll echo the words of others on this thread: trust your gut.  You know your kid and your family better than any of us.

Also, definitely attend the welcome events.  I don't know about others, but I found it really different walking into a school with an acceptance.  I was more relaxed and able to picture my child there (or not).  It really helped with decision making.

Good luck.  [/quote]
