[quote=Anonymous]My son went to SSP, and learned a lot of science. It is a very selective program, with an app based on MITs; the application alone is worth doing as a test-run before senior year. And the college results for my son and his peers were very strong. MIT in particular takes a lot of SSP kids. Maybe correlation, not causation, though. The expansion of the program to roughly double the size might change the selectivity of the program, and it is hard to imagine them rolling out that many new programs (though the curriculum is standardized, so I assume it would mean expanding the number of campuses doing one of four programs). I think the way the particular campus my son was it was run by administration left a lot to be desired, however, so much so that I considered writing a letter addressing the issues to SSP leadership. I did not. These problems might have been confined to this particular campus... [/quote]
