[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applied to LAMB to increase my chances of getting my child in a montessori program. LAMB had their own lottery separate from the dc school lottery.[/quote]

If that is the case and you are truly interested in montessori, you need to investigate LAMB's montessori program and how true to montessori they are.  The school is not AMI accredited, and they have a mix of AMI and AMS certified teachers.  I asked an administrator at the DC school fair about AMS vs AMI montessori and what their theory was and she had no idea what I was talking about.  The parent representative also had no clue what I was talking about.  In the montessori world in D.C., LAMB is "montessori-light".  This may be okay for you or it may not be.  LAMB feeds to DCI, which some view as a plus (even though the school is not yet open and who knows what it will be like eight years from now when your DC would be eligible to attend).  Some say CHM is disorganized and I have seen posts on this forum about a lack of school supplies.  Shining Stars, Lee, and CHM all seem to be on the same page re: commitment to AMI montessori--LAMB, not so much.

(I have no dog in this fight--DC did private montessori and my pk3 DC will also be entering private montessori in September).[/quote]
