[quote=Anonymous]My DD and DS went to CHDS for 10 years starting in 2001 in pre-K. They both thrived their, and we loved it as parents. It's a great inclusive, nurturing academic environment with a more alternative focus. My ds and dd loved the small class sizes (19-22 students w/2 teachers) and the field education program. There were years where they went on a field trip a week on average. Chds had a large number of extremely dedicated lovely teachers and a great parent community. About 4-5 years ago (when my kids were in 8th grade) the school had a lot of troubles like a bad principal, lots of new teachers, and problems with the administration. DD and DS still enjoyed their last year and went on to great high schools.

There are some downsides that may be dealbreakers for some: lack of space, lack of sports teams, price, not the most technologically up to date, very liberal. Being in the middle of the hill in an old DCPS building, the school just does not have the space that certain NW elementary schools have. They don't have a gym, auditorium or sports fields, and the sports teams are unorganized and practices sporadic at best. The tuition is high and keeps increasing. Over all, a great low pressure learning environment that many seem to love.[/quote]
