[quote=Anonymous]Go visit and get a feel for yourself. I would suggest you include a few others schools too. You are the best and only judge of the best school for your child. Visit as often and as many times as you need.

None of the independent schools will say they are geared towards some particular neuro/IQ  profile.  They are about letting the younger kids be kids and helping the older ones develop the self-regulation and management to achieve at their best. Your sense of what "sets strong boundaries but allows freedom" is likely very different than mine. Just as my academic expectations for my child are probably very different than yours.

As a Burgundy parent, I appreciate that people have different expectations and experiences. My oldest went on to a Big 3 for high school and was among their best students. I can name several private school class presidents and Ivy students from Burgundy. Many valedictorians and salutatorians at TC are Burgundy alums. But, they were also the strongest students at Burgundy. I certainly do not feel like the parent who says feels Burgundy left their child academically unprepared, but their child is different than mine. [/quote]
