[quote=Anonymous]I had two kids graduate from HB. It’s been a while, but the philosophy of the school hasn’t changed. It takes a very hands off approach with its students and the students who thrive there are both fiercely independent and self driven and very capable and high achieving academically. Being on the younger side for his grade - although honestly he’s not THAT young - won’t be an issue there, but his learning style and challenges might be. Yorktown would definitely offer him more support. (I had two kids attend Yorktown as well.) On balance, I would try HB since you were offered a highly coveted spot at an excellent academic high school, but I would carefully monitor your son’s progress and prepare for real possibility that he struggles in the classroom and doesn’t get the extra support that he apparently needs. That’s just not HB strong suit or its philosophy. You can always switch to Yorktown. You can’t do the reverse.[/quote]
