[quote=Anonymous]Two months into it, I would give GDS mixed reviews. I must start by saying that I still believe that GDS is the best option for my DS’s very unique needs. He is extraordinarily mature with little time for typical high school pursuits such as athletics preferring postmodern ironic literature – so he needed a stimulating environment to reach his potential.  GDS provides that.

As a PP has noted, the environment is more structured than advertised (but less structured than other schools). The teachers seem to have the ability to stimulate the most talented students though they seem to be a bit constrained by some of the less mature students. Some less mature students seem to take the less structured environment as a license to engage in juvenile horse play.  They are not the majority, but their presence inhibits some of the more reticent form opening up as much as they’d like.  So when it comes to the student body a little more structure might be helpful. That said, my son is grateful for the lack of dogma, which he simply would not tolerate. On balance, GDS would be a good choice if your child is like mine.
