We are looking into schools and pretty discouraged. Every private one seems to have uniforms and a traditional curriculum. We've got a 6 year old reading at 4th grade level,thanks to child-led learning style (a la Reggio) and there's no way he would work at a traditional-type school where he'd have to learn what someone else thinks he needs to learn when THEY want him to, rather than follow his own curiosity, which serves him (& every other child) quite well.
A uniform school seems to suggest a conformity that we can't deal with and very old-fashioned (Time Mag recently did a cover story on how outdated and ineffective traditional learning is).
We're looking into settling into Punta Cana but the only private schools here seem to be very like-minded and unoriginal. Can anyone suggest an alternative ANYWHERE in the country? Waldorf, Reggio, Montessori-type?Thanks!
