My son has had problems reading and I was told that he would have to be held back if he wasnt able to catch up. With all of the hard work that I did at home he still wasnt catching on. We were blessed to be accepted into this school! I am proud to say that he is now excelling!
One year here so far and the emphasis on social and emotional skills in conjunction with academic basics appropriate for kindergarten have really worked well for us. Yes, she is starting to read but most impressive (esp. at this age) is that she has a foundation for expressing herself appropriately, solving disputes through negotiation and compromise and a basic understanding of what it means to be part of a community. In my opinion, this is something that is sorely lacking in a world with so much emphasis on individual success and achievement at any cost. Also, with information so accessible to anyone these days , learning how to think and critically evaluate things is becoming more important than rote learning and memorization. I agree it's not for everyone, but this school is a perfect fit for us and it seems a natural direction for education of the future.
Wouldn't it be great if your kids looked forward to going to school each day? Here the kids do. Project based learning makes it fun for the kids and enables them to really understand what is learned. They also retain knowledge even longer than is necessary to get a good grade on a test. My adult friends are always quite impressed with the knowledge and critical thinking skills my child demonstrates in casual conversation. She is thrilled to be growing in such a stimulating as well as nurturing environment.
What makes children good people, and not just good students? That's why I love this school - due to the 'whole child' focus on molding them into responsible, caring, thinking and creative adults. The children can look you in the eye and have an intelligent conversation.
