Not a MSC parent, but the school is small and operates on a sliding scale so it is not as plush as other privates. [ Reply | More ]

Friends are very happy there and have not had any problem with the lack of a library. the classrooms have their own libraries. FWIW, 199 has libraries in the classroom or hallways as well. Many publics don't have full-time libraries, including Anderson. [ Reply | More ]

But Anderson has a real library that's shared with PS 9. 2.5 days per week for each school. Plus they have extensive classroom libraries. [ Reply | More ]

MSC parent here - lack of library did bug me at beginning but has not been an issue. Lots of books in rooms, and dd makes good use of our local public library. And very few elementary publics we saw had stand-alone libraries. [ Reply | More ]

Thanks. It's the one nagging factor I can't get beyond. [ Reply | More ]

Yeah - I was outraged at the whole "classroom library" bull*t instead of a real library but I got past it. MSC is a great school and my dcs are HUGE readers. [ Reply | More ]
