[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he would do well with the seminar-style approach to learning. There's also a lot of freedom to get up and move around. Test-taking for math and languages is pretty traditional - no way around that. The biggest problem that I see is that he probably won't learn how to improve organization and study skills. They have a class on executive function. I have no personal experience with that, but I do not get the impression that it is very helpful. I think the executive function piece has to be a part of every class for it to really work -- not a separate class into itself. Also, if he is really social, he might feel limited since it is such a small school. But if he's visited classes (which they require before admission) he should have a good sense as to whether that would be a fit. Have you looked at schools like Commonwealth that explicitly teach organization?[/quote]
