[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern will be great from an education standpoint, definitely challenging with very purposeful coursework and projects. It’s a public school, which I know people on this board think is akin to a prison, but that’s not really true. The building itself has not been renovated recently.[b] I don’t have experience with SAES but it seems like the opposite. Warm, small, not particularly challenging, shielding you from the real world people you might encounter at Eastern.[b] So which is the priority? Eastern is better academically and SAES is a more nurturing environment. [/quote]

Unlike the poster above, I will only comment on the school with which I have actual experience -- St. Andrew's.  Yes, SAES is a small school and for my DC, an AA student who graduated from St. Andrew's and is now attending a highly-ranked SLAC, St Andrew's was also a warm and friendly place that did an excellent job of preparing DC well for college.  SAES teachers were innovative and encouraged students nopt only to challenge themselves, but also develop an awareness of how they learn best.  DC's friend group was diverse and supportive -- and they remain so even as graduates.  Finally, college counseling was welcoming of parents and completely transparent.  Whatever you and your DC decide, OP, I wish you the best!   [/quote]
