Why are people talking about the Monument space? That school is transferring to Friendship ... not closing as originally speculated.

I live on the Hill about 5 blocks from SWS. Every family I know in real life is incredibly happy there. The minor complaints they have are problems I would love to have at my IB. I’m incredibly jealous. Enjoy!

Congrats!! We were a first year family last year and had a wonderful first year. There are some old chains that have some criticisms of SWS (mainly about lack of diversity, and a sense of expectation for parents to volunteer a lot). While not a particularly diverse school, it’s better in the lower grades than upper grades and I hope will continue to improve. And there are a lot of opportunities to volunteer but it’s because they do so many field trips and other wonderful activities, which we love. I don’t have any thing negative personally to say—it’s really exceeded our expectations in many ways. I hope you’ll experience the same!

OP here! We got in. So any criticisms of SwS I’d love to hear! Thanks.

The building is outdated. But other than that, it's a terrific school.

It’s getting renovated starting summer of 2020. Swing space is still I unknown.
