in the few weeks that my girls have attended Eton I'm blown away as to how much they have changed.Their love of learning, their confidence, hand writing, attention to detail, love of reading, vocabulary, spelling, creativity, respect of their own time.Now I'm not saying Eton has taught them all of this in a short period of time as I'm sure it was all ready in side of them but what I am saying is that Eton (their teachers and the environment) has helped bring it out. We transferred here from a top rated elementary school after the completion of 1st grade. We are very new to the school but what we have seen in the past 9weeks it was the best thing we could have done for our girls. If you are looking for an academic program in a nurturing environment, I would recommend visiting Eton. I also liked that Eton taught handwriting in K, while this was not a priority in my older son's school (and he has always struggled with poor handwriting as a result). Also he would have had 1:1 help in areas he was behind). I liked that the Eton program allowed my younger son to advance at his speed and he didn't have to wait for the rest of the class in the areas where he was ahead (this is a benefit to a Montessori school. There are pro and cons to both school, but I felt that the Kindergarten program offered at Eton was superior to the one offered at the gifted school. I have an older son attending a private school for gifted kids in the area. When we were looking at schools, we almost didn't visit Eton because of the some of the older reviews, but once we visited we were immediately impressed and have been happy with our decision. The program is academic but in a very nurturing environment. My son is in his 2nd year at Eton and we are very happy with the school. Your child is unlikely to come out of this Eton with anything resembling the work done at the real Eton despite their use of the name and their efforts to give that impression. Pay close attention to alumni reviews, especially, after further education elsewhere. They do seem to maintain the appropriate Bellevue-area snootiness to match, but that's about it. When that is the foundation, it tends to permeate everything. This school began on the basis of using someone else's reputation (*the* Eton boarding school in Windsor) as their marketing model, trying to suggest that they are somehow associated or linked or of similar philosophy and outcomes, because they were in the US and they could, legally. If you were in Bulgaria and bought a new Nike shoe that costs hundreds in the US but a vendor sold the pair to you for US $20, what would you already know about it? The main thing you would know is that it is virtually guaranteed that the shoes had either been stolen or were knockoffs.
