[quote=Anonymous]It's a great school for kids who can do college prep work, but may have trouble doing it in 7 large classes per day (e.g. gifted with very mild ADD or LD). You start and finish a class in 4 months. There are 4 long periods each day (plus open lunch in the Dupont Circle area). It's also often been a school for serious ballet dancers, musicians, etc. (who may take 3 of the classes, then go dance for hours, then go home and do homework). There have been changes in the past few years (since Margot Walsh passed away). I'm not up on the latest re: Emerson. It does have an alternative flavor to it, but is not only a "turn-around school" (although has filled that function for kids who are "outside the box" -- not necessarily "screw-ups"). [/quote]
