Thanks everyone for your insights. I will really appreciate if someone can provide more information on the progressive nature of education specifically in the Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove, IL. I sometimes feel that tours with the school coordinator is not everything that one needs to understand.
Is it improper to ask for name/profile/discussion with the class teachers he will see at least in the next 2-3 years. Moving schools is tough on the kid and I am trying to make the right decision. And with the $s I need to spend if we start going here, I want to be at least 80% correct
