[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Kipp and Center City use the Appletree model for pk3 and prek4. You’ll be fine at either one for those grades. K and up, I’d choose Kipp over CC. [/quote]

False. KIPP DC schools use Tools of the Mind. You can read more about it here. https://toolsofthemind.org/learn/tools-for-parents/#parents-of

I'm also curious about the poster who said "KIPP is not the type of environment in which I want my child to spend her schools years." My husband is an early elementary teacher at KIPP and I only hope our kids have access to a school that combines such joy, rigor, and excellent teaching. Have you ever BEEN in a KIPP PreK classroom?

I have, as a consultant. Again, based on what I've experienced I'd not put my child in a KIPP, Appletree or Rocketship. I prefer that my child and her peers be spoken to and treated respectfully, not as if she were some future prisoner. To be fair, the schools that I've been in are the ones located in Wards 7 and 8. Not sure what the culture of these schools is like in the other wards.[/quote]
