How do kids who are educated in progressive schools compare scholastically to their peers in more traditional environments?
In the early years, our children are not pushed academically and hence may not have been exposed to all that their peers have been exposed to. However, in our experience, children who are educated in progressive schools are scholastically on par or above their traditionally educated peers by 3rd or 4th grade. We have found that because our children have not been cognitively pushed too hard a t a young age, they become more prepared and eager to learn, and become active participants in their own learning as they move through their primary years.
