[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the only school that kids learn 3 languages at the same time- Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese. It has an interesting diversity of students because of this and attracts a number of international families.

It’s strengths come from being a school that focuses exclusively on the early years. It’s a small community with 100 families.  Many of the parents in my kids class also went to school there. They all say the same thing - it created a love of learning and it was very important for them to send their kid there.

Just one example of the excellent foundation for learning that the school provides - The Class of 2008 (now graduating from high school) just came back to a recent school assembly at PDS to announce where they were going to college.  [b]There was at least one kid going  to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Brown, and Penn along with many other selective colleges. [/b]It says a lot about the impression that PDS made on these kids lives that more than 25 kids from the Class of 2008 were willing to come back for the assembly.

It’s such BS that preschool was any part of a kid going to an Ivy League college, but it’s a common sentiment in this area and often a reason to exclude and/or boot out ‘normal kids’ or SN kids from preschool. Hard pass![/quote]
