[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Field is an excellent school with excellent teachers.  They were exceptionally supportive of my kids who are both in very good colleges now, despite moderate adhd and some manageable learning issues. If you’re asking here because you’ve been accepted, and you want reassurance, you should call Field to speak with the learning specialist. [b]Field seems to have become quite selective so I doubt they’d offer a spot to someone that shouldn’t be there.[/b] If you think your kid has more severe learning issues and they’ve also been accepted to a school like McLean, yes, give that serious consideration.

This.  Current parent and NP.  I made a point to discuss DC's specific learning differences and learning profile with admissions after being accepted but before accepting the spot.  They also had DC's learning profile (full neuropsych testing) in the application.  I was assured that the fit was there.

DC responds extremely well to one on one reinforcement which is exactly what they are getting from the teachers this year.  It took a while to get the habit down of meeting with teachers consistently, but in 10th grade, the support is really kicking in.  And, as a PP said, they chunk out assignments for everyone - and this approach looks the same across all classes.  There has basically never been a late night with an assignment that crept up.
