HELP! Any parents familiar with MAT on? My dc was just offered a spot in the CTT program there in the MS. This is our first time in public school and we missed all tours...I only know what I read on the internet the past few hours. It looks like a good fit from what I read on InsideSchools, DoE site etc. but looking for any first hand knowledge of the school in general or CTT. We only have a day or so to respond, many thanks!

    • Well neighbors DS goes there and loves it. They have amazing electives (i think they have surfing or wakeboarding or something). It can be a schlep depending on where you live, but kids figure out how to get home by themselves or sometimes one parent will take home a bunch of kids who live near each other.

      • Thanks I didn't realize there is such a demand for it, how do you know? Until this AM I knew little about the school but reaearched all day and am impressesd with what I read. Just found out I am able to visit the school in Sep before making final decision(!) For those interested, I came across this CECD2 site that featured informative VIDEO's on 3 middles schools, including MAT, SoF and Lab...it gives a very clear picture of the schools philosophy etc.: http://www.cecd2.net/site_res_view_folder.aspx?id=5953528d-3f41-4022-9cff-f9cecdac95f1
