School choice is a privilege. Yet wading through the options can be a challenge. As most parents do we studied school demographics, test scores and other typical educational metrics. But our decision to send our children to EXPO was made intuitively.
During our first visit to EXPO, a 4th grader met us at the door and escorted us to the kindergarten rooms, all the while talking about how she loved her school (her self-confidence and enthusiasm were delightful); diversity and respect for others was evident; and children's work hung on every possible flat surface! As we learned more about EXPO's philosophies it was clear that multiple intelligence theories, Life Skills, theme based learning and the tenured, committed staff made EXPO great.
The outcome, after four years at EXPO, is that our kids love learning and have grown intellectually and emotionally. My eldest son said it best when he was in first grade. Mom, I try to sit in the front of the bus. I get into school sooner that way. What else can a Mom hope for?
