[quote=Anonymous]The transition was relatively easy on the social front. SAAS hosted a whole-school summer event in July, pre-season sports practice began in early August, and fall musical workshops occurred in August and September. DS had no issues meeting peers before school started. SAAS also has a cool house system -- think Hogwarts -- and the houses compete every week against each other. SAAS also sponsors a lot of social activities, like movie nights and dances. The academic transition for new students can be harder -- it is a rigorous school (but the kids are not cutthroat, uber competitive with each other). It took DS a few weeks to become accustomed to the workload and expectations. But honestly, because there are so many assignments and assessments, not one of them counts for too much in the grand scheme of things. In contrast, DD attends a non-parochial private, and while rigorous, there are far fewer assessments, which means that individual grades on those are more important. Ironically, at SAAS, the rigor makes each assessment less stressful. Counterintuitive, but just my observation.  [/quote]
