[quote=riekindt][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their website says the only accept kids in K unless there is an opening from attrition. Is that true?[/quote]

No. [/quote]

So they're lying? I'm confused. [/quote]

Sheridan is a small school with one class per grade. As such they can only fill spaces when kids leave. I believe most grades will have 1 to 4 spaces per year so there are opportunities to join the school in later years. We joined Sheridan in third grade for example and our child was 1 of 4 new students.

As to Sheridan being "activist". I don't think there is a need for concern. We find Sheridan to be a very well balanced school that certainly is progressive but does not go overboard. I disagree with the student who mentioned the children are not being taught American history. I would say that what they learn covers a variety of perspectives and influences. For example American history is not just taught from a European settler perspective but also from the perspective of Native Americans and Black Americans. As to art and music instructions, I have loved how their teachers expose them to artists from all over the world. I expect that literature will similarly not just focus on American and European authors.          [/quote]
