[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book award in our grade normally goes to a beauvoir boy and most of the kids that get academic prizes are from beauvoir. [/quote]
It's possible for Beauvoir grads to have very strong individual students but be weaker in the aggregate than those entering the Cathedral schools in 4th grade from other parts of the area.  Not contradictory at all.[/quote]

Define “weaker.”  Beauvoir math emphasizes problem-solving and conceptual understanding, so they do not emphasize computation or rote learning.  If you place a Beauvoir 3rd grader against a Sidwell 3rd grader, the Beauvoir child might seem to be “weaker.”  However, the Beauvoir child will excel at conceptual and critical thinking as well as problem-solving. Beauvoir children is also very strong at teaching children how to learn and to enjoy the process. That has made the tuition worth it for us.  [/quote]

Stay in your lane.  It's pretty obvious you are unfamiliar with sidwell lower school[/quote]

Actually, I am quite familiar with the lower school; I have a child who is now in the middle school.  Since you have no point of comparison, perhaps you should stay in your lane?

Sidwell is an excellent school, but differs from Beauvoir somewhat in it’s pedagogical approach.  Sidwell kids at third grade are exposed to things Beauvoir kids are not.  That doesn’t mean. Eauvoir is weaker, just different.  [/quote]
