[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, 9:15. I did read a bunch of old ATS posts, but I'm still not exactly clear on what "structured" looks like in the classroom. Just a teacher lecturing the whole time? Sorry - I must be dense because I'm not quite getting it yet. But the school sure does have some strong supporters! [/quote] Arlington magazine profiled the school; I don't know if you could find a copy of the magazine still. Dress code: shirts must be tucked in! All children in 4th and 5th grade must study an instrument. All children must be reading by the end of kindergarten. Most Arlington schools welcome 5 year olds to kindergarten. If your 5YO shows up and the teachers decide s/he isn't going to be hitting academic milestones by the end of the year, you will be encouraged to pull your child out and wait a year. Children who aren't reading at the end of kindy repeat the year. Students in later grades get a lot of drilling so they will pass the SOLs. [/quote]
