[quote=Anonymous]I graduated the program. It was brutal. I would say 4-5 hours per day on homework and a significant amount of Sunday getting ready for the week. I probably went to bed around 1am most nights. As a graduate, I will not be allowing my kids to apply. I missed out on a lot of the typical HS experience because of the program. It did prepare me for college though and I cruised through Georgetown. I was so well prepared academically that it gave me a lot of time to explore the dormant social side of life in college. Again, now as a parent-- this isn't a good thing. The curiculum is amazing and the depth of knowledge is incredible. But the workload is nothing to dismiss. I will also mention that I played sports and had a part time job. It was a hard balancing act that taught me time mangement skills that I still use today. Good luck to your child. It's a hard decision.[/quote]
