Re: Preschool recommendations
Very humble, the only computer is the one in the Director's office. But like you said it's not for all students. Montessori schools like Waldorf and even Star of the Sea provide a different style of education that works as well. My two year old is Montessori material and wouldn't do well at TES.
Sweeping claims? yes they are but they won't be the first to say it. Their enrollment waitlist is verrrrryy long so they don't advertise at all. TES has been a model for which the University of Hawaii/Manoa has studied in past years to develop their own emergent curricullum directives. Many of the parents there are in fact UH proffessors as well as directors and administrators for other prominent k-12 private schools around Oahu so they understand just how good TES is.
You want a list of testimonials from professionals? Contact Francis at TES and request those names. You'd be impressed at the who's who that is on it. This is one school that has credentials that are way up there but they don't expound them because of their humbleness. These are really grassroots people! The director (Francis Dote) drives a beat up Nissan pickup. One of the senior board members drives an old Buick Century. Another plays blues rock in a local band. They refuse to be labelled eclectic even though they could easily become that. One teacher there was a hold out on digital photography and even stayed with a slide projector instead of using Power Point and a video projector.
Yep their grassroots people.
