[quote=Anonymous]I actually don't think your son (as described) is a good fit for STA. My sons fits a similar profile to OP's son and is in upper school at STA and while he's strong academically he's in the minority. Most of the bookish and even quiet boys are still assertive and well spoken and passionate about whatever it is that interests them. Timid is very, very rare. STA tends to attract leaders. It is what it is. My son is not (he's a clear laid-back type B kid) and he's definitely in the minority. It's fascinating to me actually but I think the apple doesn't fall far from the tree for most people. Most STA parents are leaders and their kids are leaders. I'm sure I"ll get crucified for saying this (by those both from within and without the school who will disagree for whatever reason) but it's definitely been the case in my experience. [/quote]
