Christina Simon: Los Angeles, California, United States
I'm the mom of two kids who attended The Willows School in Culver City and Viewpoint School in Calabasas. My daughter is a graduate of Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism ('23) and my son is a sophomore at UPenn/Wharton ('26). I live in Coldwater Canyon with my husband, Barry, and our dogs. Contact me at csimon2007@gmail.com
Hi Christina,
Having been a parent at The Willows, would you recommend it for a child who has tested Highly Gifted? Is it challenging enough? Is there differentiation for children who need more challenge or more reinforcement? Would love your opinion on this if you have a minute, thanks!
Hi Anonymous, The Willows, like many other schools, has highly gifted students who are pulled out for some subjects like math. The school breaks classes into groups by ability starting in about 1st grade. But, for the highly gifted kids, they will create specialized programs and curriculum. Hope that helps!
