Upper Valley Waldorf?
Does anyone have any experience with this school? It's a long shot, b/c it is a pretty small school...
Thank you!
LBC
P.S. I'm not looking for an opinion about Waldorf in general... already know plenty... thanks.

Don't know anything about that one. I've been to the Waldorf school in Chelsea(Wellspring) a bunch of times checking it out. Also small but they seem like a good place. I'm not sold on waldorf, but if we stayed in town I would send my daughter there long before the public school(rivendell).

Oh boy! What's wrong with Rivendell? I'm not headed there, but I considered it...
Thanks,

Low quality teachers mostly. Brand new school that doesn't have enough kids to justify staying open(the committee for the schools future is full of school teachers so I wonder what their opinion will be) High school is ungodly far away from our town, and all of the school activities are centered closer to the HS or the other elementary. Same problem as other VT public schools, they teach to the lowest common denominator and that is really really low...

Mustmove...just curious. Who "governs" Rivendell? Vermont or NH? It's a interstate school district and the high school is actually in NH. I know Hanover/Norwich is the same deal.

I'm not sure of the details. There is a school board and superintendents and all the usual stuff. Not sure what happens when the laws/taxes are different. I did hear that Dresden(Hanover/Norwich) required an act of congress to come into existence. Sadly I think some locals thought it would be cool/progressive/better to be like Dresden.
