[quote=Anonymous]I have two boys in the Upper School. They are both very happy there and both really quickly found a good friend group. I have one child who excels academically, and one who has ADHD and is in the Learning Center (which is fabulous if your child needs this). Most days one or both stays late and takes the late bus home, just to hang out with friends and play football or soccer, or watch whatever FH game is happening at the school that afternoon. The school also strongly encourages kids to use teacher office hours to do their homework or get additional help- they frame it as an important way to get to know the teacher and enhance their learning, rather than just a place to go if they're struggling. As for the parents, they have all been down to earth and friendly. There are many different ways to get involved and meet other parents, all without dedicating much time and energy, like volunteering for a shift in the Igloo (the concession stand) either during the day or at sports games. There are Upper School parent coffees that occur maybe once a month or so, that are based on a presentation of a topic of interest, followed by Q&A. [/quote]
