5 /5 T Ponce: Based on our experience, I can speak to the lower grades. I have been very impressed with the curriculum and structure of the classes. For context, I am a teacher myself, so I have very high standards with regard to pedagogy.
Now, I will say that Kor may not be for everyone. Just like any educational experience, each learner will have unique needs and they and their parents need to find the best fit. Kor has a European style pedagogical model. That means that as a parent you either need to be ready to tutor/assist your child, or you need to be ready to pay for a tutor. This format is great for us because I wanted to be more involved in my childs education than would be typically possible in a typical US school set up.
One of the most important aspects about Kor that I truly appreciate is the low teacher to student ratio. We have experienced about 10:1, which is significantly lower than you are going to see in a US style school setup. As a teacher myself, I can see how the learning of my students is impacted as more and more students get added to my classes. I cannot give them each the individualized attention they need. At Kor, the teachers are given a fighting chance to do they work they need to do with their students thanks to this lower ratio.
All in all, I would say to give Kor a look. Talk to the headmistress. She is open and willing to meet up to talk.
