[quote=Anonymous]PDS is indeed a top tier PK-2 experience. And its tuition goes 100% for its PK-2 students, unless the $44k/ year PK-2 SFS experience. PDS is more academic and traditional than any of the play-based and progressive Beauvoirs, GDS', and SFS.' You would really know where your kids' skills, strengths and weaknesses were at the end of 2nd grade at PDS. You would not know that at the K-12 play around holistic school we are at. It's not the focus - the focus where we're at is 'foster a love of learning and values' through fun hands-on stuff and then ramp it up in 3rd grade, 6th grade and two more cranks up for 9th grade. I almost call it a bait and switch regarding how easy the learning environment is "teaching the student to their level or letting them choose what to do half the day" in lower lower school versus the rude awakening they suffer in later grades.
