[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see mixed reviews online and was wondering if anyone can speak to any of the following from personal experience.

1. How structured are the academics and are students well-prepared for HS? They seem to emphasize time outdoors and experiential learning with minimal homework?

The curriculum is lacking and many have to get tutors. But some do well and go on to take honors/APs and high school. The emphasis on outdoors is apparent in all grades for some it is playing outside for upper grades a “go out” elective is required where they work on the garden(mulching, planting, upkeep, etc.).

2. The school is Christian, but how much of a focus is there on this in day-to-day learning, and is it Catholic or Protestant? Or welcoming of both?

They talk about God in every class. They are Protestant.

3. I see some reviews complaining of drama/politics with the school leadership and parents apparently not getting along, forming different factions or something. Is that all in the past or is there still drama in this regard?

Most of the people/families there are very friendly, but the overall hierarchy is a mess. The head of school is terrible.

4. It's a smaller school, so obviously extracurriculars are limited, but what kind of extracurriculars do they offer?

They have soccer and the upper grades have art, music, and electives that change semester by semester.[/quote]
