[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks again - did you consider any other schools?  We feel like we should consider two or three but not finding a fit like nysmith elsewhere [/quote]
As our problem was well identified, we asked our closest friends who have children in other excellent private schools in DC. They all said the same about differentiation in lower schools but we know their older children are really happy in the upper schools. We will definitely consider those schools in two years from now as we will have to start over to find a high school – but one step at a time.
We knew right away Nysmith was a good fit and the enthusiasm our DS showed after his two day visit there just comforted us. Teachers are extremely well prepared for the “more” children and the fact that children are alike helps a lot in the dynamic of the group: same huge sense of humor, same intensity in the way they handle things, extremely sensitive but then careful as they know the others are the same type. We were heartbroken to leave our former school as we really loved it. It was no longer a good fit as they could not accommodate at all despite the “most advanced groups” which did not work at all for our DS.
