To answer your other question, IMO SFS is best for kids who are bright in a lot of areas but not superstars in any one area (e.g. sports, arts, math, science, etc.) They do have those kids, but the ones who seem to do best socially and academically are more well rounded. Kids need to be committed to academics -- the work really is hard -- but there are plenty of supports and understanding that this is something that most kids grow into. My DC has loved it and has found a great group of friends. Parent community is great and becomes closer as the kids get older, which is nice.[/quote]

I would agree with much of this, but I would add that there are outstanding athletes, outstanding singers, outstanding muscal talent etc. - not everyone, but there is plenty of opportunity for the kids to shine in their selected venue(s) of choice, but ultimately, the kids have to want to take on the academic challenge, because it is very hard to skate through the high school.[/quote]
