[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my DCs graduated there in 2021, and I have a senior there now.  Happy to help, but I need you to be more specific as I could write volumes. What do you want to know?[/quote]

OP here, thank you. This was the kind of poster I was hoping to meet on here. I have looked at the course offerings. As far as I can see, really the only classes where the school appears on paper at least, to [b]exceed[/b] the offerings of a public school (here in DC or in LA) is in languages. So students can take AP classes in French, Chinese etc but also they can go "beyond" that, particularly in French, where they can then go on to study French Literature at an advanced level (but not AP as that's been long abolished in the US).

I was really impressed with this, but when I looked at the other courses, History, English, Science & Math, there wasn't anything more obviously outstanding about any of these classes. Am I wrong, and am I possibly missing something here? 
I suspect the differences may well lie in the smaller class setting, greater discussion amongst students and more in depth teaching, but I don't know. [/quote]
