[quote=Anonymous]My DD is in lower school and seems pretty decent.  You are right that it is not "intense" but should 8 - 11 years olds be under "intense" pressure?  I hope no parent believes that.  (And having had another DC in AAP program in public that was pretty intense, I am pretty sure DD is getting as good of an education without unnecessary homework and pressure ... you can do that with smaller classes and special resources that private like Holton provides children).   Also, I hear, but do not know at this point that the students who are there from LS develop a very special bond with each other by the time they graduate.  If you are looking for intensity for your child, there are a lot of options ... online courses through JHU-CTY, AMC8 & 10 math competitions, probably even some college classes they could take a stab at right now online.  I don't mean to be facetious, but it seems odd to me that someone would be focusing on wanting their child to have an "intense" school experience, particularly when so many kids are stressed out (have you seen "Race to Nowhere"?)
