[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a single school mentioned in this thread recognizes the science of reading. They bleed Lucy Calkins and Fountes & Pinell in reading and writing. So if you are concerned about paying for curriculum and teaching styles proven to harm children then don’t waste your money or time at these schools. [/quote] NPS uses Orton Gillingham.[/quote] And Lucy Calkins. Almost exclusively in the upper grades.[/quote] I have multiple kids at NPS, including a graduate. They use a really terrific phonics-based OG reading program in the early grades. In early grades, they use some of the LC writing program. They also explicitly teach spelling and cursive. 4-6 the writing instruction is not LC anymore. I have been happy, especially with the 6th grade writing instruction. It’s lots of structured persuasive writing and grammar instruction. [/quote]
