[quote=Anonymous]My teen with ADHD really likes Madeira. She likes that there are three academic classes a module (5 weeks long) and this works for her as opposed to balancing the executive functioning demands of 5 classes. It is also nice to switch every five weeks to new classes. The school says to expect about 10-15 hours of homework a week for freshman and sophomores and we have found this to be true. So I would look closely at the amount of homework your DD is doing and see if it is preparing her for the demands of high school. Also, I recommend you ask to speak to the learning specialist at Madeira to talk about your DD’s individual situation and learn about how Madeira supports kids with ADHD. Actually, you should do this with all the schools you are looking at. [/quote]
