[quote=Anonymous]Come check out the Washington Waldorf School.  I think you'll find a school where your child can thrive as he'll have space to think and learn in a way that suits him as well as more typical students.

I had skipped WWS on my first round of inquiries.  I only went in to check it out toward the end because I didn't want to worry later that I'd missed something during my search.  I was certain it would be too far "out there" for my comfort level. But after a parent evening I was surprised at how much I liked what I heard.  So then I toured the classrooms.  I was intrigued with what I saw in the classrooms.  I spoke with current parents and pressed them on their experiences and where else they had looked and how their kids were doing at WWS.  At that time I looked at least 5 of the area schools but WWS was in a league of its own.  That was 4 years ago and we couldn't be happier.

Here's a great description of a typical Waldorf experience through the lower school and I can attest that's what my kids have done at WWSl: http://www.capeannwaldorf.org/grades-1-8/detailed-curriculum-descriptions

My eldest is in middle school now, the high school coursework is very strong and we get a lot of grads who move onto science degrees in college (good schools too) and they're very prepared.  I wasn't sure that would be the case when we first started and I thought we'd leave the school for high school.  Having seen what the H.S. brings to the students now I know we'll stay.  [/quote]
