[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The academics at PDS are top notch (except
for the language program)We have been very happy with our daughter's teachers throughout the years. The parent community is awful (insufferable, jappy mothers) but other than that the school is lovely. 
The school is very small which is nice for young children.
The language program is a joke - the children "learn" three foreign languages once a week for 20-25 minute sessions.

Yes this!  Wasted part of each week.  My DC would be better off with exposure to one language more frequently.  3 languages for 20 mins/week is an absolute waste of time and money (for the faculty they have to hire).  I’m hopeful this will change before I send my younger child.  [/quote]

Hopefully the school will take note of these suggestions and make some changes. The Development Office can make a huge difference in the culture of a school by being inclusive and welcoming diversity within the parent body.  Parent cliques continue into Holton and Landon and the kids become cliquey as a result.  These cliques often become the  “cool” group, the sports stars and continue to exclude and make other, perfectly nice kids, feel “ less than”
It is literally perpetuated for generations.
