[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are friends with a family that had one kid at PDS and one at Sidwell. The older kid only went to Sidwell. The second kid went to PDS before also going to Sidwell. They were shocked by how much more the kid at PDS learned in the early grades compared to the sibling at Sidwell for the early years.  He really thrived and the parents were thrilled with the schools curriculum. [b]The PDS sibling was a much more advanced reader. [/b][/quote]

Who cares? Unless your kid is planning on graduating high school at age 12, there’s little value in that. Early years are best spent learning things like real life problem solving and social skills.[/quote]

My kid spent K-3 learning about civics, social justice, slavery, homosexuals and transgenders. 
We got ALL SORTS of questions those first couple years. But never about math or science or reading. 
We really struggled with this, but understand that many private schools backend the academics and frontend the culture. [/quote]
