[quote=Anonymous]We have a kid who was new to MS, and who we would describe as on the quieter side.  Can only speak to MS and can't compare it to any other local private.  I wouldn't call it chaotic, but it is a place where they do expect MS kids, certainly by 7th & 8th, to take the lead on their learning and advocate for themselves ("agency" is the buzzword they use).  Whether that goes hand-in-hand with a more freewheeling or "chaotic" atmosphere I really don't know.  It's a great place to learn if your kid is disciplined and wants to do well, and we sent our kid there so that they would be pushed to take charge of their education and interests, and be more independent and an advocate for themselves.  It's worked out well for our kid, but if your kid is more on the passive/reserved side and won't be willing to try to change, it's probably not the ideal place for them.  FWIW, even at the old campus a few years ago, the one impression that sticks with me compared to the other tours we took was that it was a happy hive of activity, which I guess others could view as chaos.  It exuded more energy than the other schools we visited.  Others could have viewed it very differently. [/quote]
