[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Steer really clear of St Anselm's if your child is not self motivated. Do not expect any help with organization or accommodations beyond extra time. [/quote]

OP here - child does his work but frequently forgets to turn it in…[/quote]

I'm the poster you're responding to. This will result in a 0 in the gradebook at St Anselm's.  My kid lived it. It is not pretty. Teachers will do nothing to help him turn it in. Almost everything is on paper. When you multiply this by a number of classes every day, there is a lot to track.  It can get demoralizing.[/quote]

OP here—good to know! Looks like we’ll take SAAS off our list.[/quote]

Terrible idea to make decisions about schools based on one comment on DCUM.  I don't care what school is involved.  You are negligent if you decide based on a single anecdote without visiting the school, talking with teachers and admissions staff as they will put you in touch with parents of students based on your particular concerns/questions.
