[quote=Anonymous]My son has been on the quiet side for most of his life, but is supported at his small class size school to contribute in class and does well.  He does well in classroom, but is a bit scattered at times and doesn't necessarily relish being in school or doing the work.  He does it because he has to, basically.  But he's bright.  We are turning our attention to HS options, and although he could stay at his school though HS, we are intrigued by the concept of SWW and want to explore it further.  My thinking is that maybe this school will be the spark that he's looking for, to allow him to explore in a different setting, to have less behavioral disruptions from his classmates, and to gain some independence from his parents.  Unfortunately it looks like tours are not existent until you actually are accepted, which seems so odd to me that I can't seem to wrap my head around having my child go through hoops to get into a place he might not even want to go to.  Is this really what everyone who attends there now goes through?  No tours at all?[/quote]
