[quote=Anonymous]Does your kid like Harkness? Exeter uses Harkness for every class, which is actually very exhausting. Their math courses are entirely problem-based and don't have formal instruction. Exeter is good for self-directed learners, and there's an expectation kids do a lot of self-teaching. This can be very frustrating for students. Andover has Harkness for humanities but more traditional instruction for STEM, which makes things a little less intense. However, both schools give tons of work and are stressful. Both of these are great options for independent teenagers that want a very rigorous high school experience. They are both bad choices if your kid needs a lot of hand-holding. They're notorious for being "sink or swim" boarding schools.[/quote]
