[quote=Anonymous][quote=janesmith1]Hello,

I have seen many Visi posts, but do not feel like I have enough to go on about the workload and rigor. Can anyone provide an estimate of how much homework there is a night and if the academics are extremely challenging? My daughter would probably not do that many APs, if any.

Thanks![/quote]

I would say it's rigorous and if your DD doesn't want to put the work in (I have a DC like this), or have other significant buy-in to the school, I would probably skip it. I have a child here and the workload is a lot. She takes honors and AP classes and routinely has 2-3 hours of work a night. She is well-organized and does extremely well academically but it is a lot of work. Even freshman year, when there was only one honors class available, she still had a few hours a night on average. There are free periods built in to work on homework during the day, but that would require your DD to use them for homework and not hanging out with friends, which may or may not happen. I would consider the honors and AP classes to be extremely rigorous, but the traditional college prep classes are also not easy. Best of luck to you![/quote]
