[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a great program in a not-so-great school, and it feels divided, like two schools in one building. My kid learned how to write/read/research - skills that are invaluable. And she had fun in all those cool classes. Gym and Art and math/science were not so great. So it's a trade-off. One we'd do again - the enriched instruction is really amazing - but know what you're getting. [/quote] Agreed. The reading, writing, and research skills my child learned (now in 8th grade) are invaluable. The teachers are all amazing and the classes are all interdependent. Science is ok, it depends on what teacher your child gets, and the math teachers are mostly fine-- the general curriculum covers new topics. However, the commute is very long, almost an hour each way. DD dances and had to go late to some classes. As for homework, time management is key and there isn't too much. Overall, excellent program with great kids in it. [/quote]
