[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We applied and was accepted into KIPP for prek4 but decided not to go after DS got into an immersion language school.  KIPP is walking distance while the charter is not so KIPP was tempting.  What made the decision for us is that we wanted the immersion language starting in pre-K and the fact that I hated the amount of time DS would be at school.  Kipp schools follow a year round schedule as well as an extra long school day and require Saturday classes.

My kid is in upper elementary now and he is busy with extracurriculars after school, on weekends and during summer/vacations.  Kipp’s School schedule does not work for our family.

Legit concerns. Saturday school is no longer part of the curriculum however.

I actually like the long school year - we never make up snow days, and I pay for less summer camp time. After school activities are more difficult, but since they get out at 4 I don't need aftercare - just morning care for an hour. [/quote]
