[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD in 8th grade at a private and we are looking at Whitman for high school. Just trying to figure out whether this will be a good fit. I have no doubt that academics will be good/great. However, she is highly strung, introverted and non-sporty. Plus she will not know a soul.

We are an international family and don’t have any experience with the public school system here. How does this kind of kid find their way at Whitman? [/quote]

My DD will be there next year and would love to be an ambassador to help your DD. Mine is non sporty and an introvert too but has a good set of friends.

I am certain, that if you discuss the concern with counselors when the year starts, they will pair her with another student for some time. They do this at the middle school ( students are called Ambassadors ) and they help new students.

Also, if your DD is doing Band/ Orchestra/ Chorus, they will make friends or atleast a group to hang out with.

I promise you, she will find her tribe at Whitman! [/quote]
