The pandemic destroyed everything we liked about Sunnyside. - A class size that used to be 12, is now close to 30. - My child has had zero homework or projects, and there are only 4 weeks left in the year.- My child is given outside time 0-2 times per week. Sometimes they don't go outside for over a month.- My child does her core schoolwork on the computer 90% of the time, and not on paper or with handouts provided in class.- My child plays Minecraft on the computer for one or more periods a day and is told it's educational.- No paper comes back so I cannot work to correct any errors my child receivea... I have no idea how they earn the grades I see on their report cards.- I have not seen any art projects come home and there are 4 weeks left in the school year.It may seem like the above are not connected to the pandemic, but I had issues with none of the above before 2020. The teachers are now stretched so thin or just too worn down and not able to teach very many minutes in a day.

My son attended WSP from Little Friends through the 8th Grade. He is now attending the best private academy in the area and excelling across all his subjects. WSP prepared him well--not just in subject matter, but providing him with the tools to continue to learn. Because the grades classroom teachers stay with their classes for several years--they really understand how each student learns and are able to create environments where each child can reach their academic potential. I saw another review mention knitting. Actually, it's an entire handwork program where young children are taught to finger-knit and the handwork techniques increase in difficulty through the grades. This is part of the Waldorf curriculum which utilizes the Head, Heart Hands approach to teaching concepts. My (and my son's) experience has found this approach to be highly effective. I definitely recommend WSP.

I attended Winchester Thurston from 4th grade to 12th grade. I loved almost every teacher I worked with and felt very well prepared for collage. The school dealt with bulling well and taught the students respect and compassion. The student to teacher ratio was perfect for me and class sizes were excellent. I can say that i truly loved my experience at WT
