[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of tutoring goes on for kids at STA, athletes and non-athletes alike.  Tutors can be seen during the school day working with kids during their free periods, and after lunch/before sports on or off campus.  STA is strong academically but there is still a relatively broad range of student abilities, sometimes diverging by subject matter (student who is strong in humanities but works with a math science tutor; student who is strong in math science but works with a foreign language tutor).  I doubt there is much difference in use of tutors between STA and other schools catering to academically proficient and/or ambitious kids/families--I just don't see this as controversial.[/quote]

Speaking of academic strenghts.  We will likely apply DS to STA for 4th grade.  He is very strong in Writing/English and more average in Math.  He doesn't struggle with Math, but he's no mathematical powerhouse either.  My question is would he feel out of place at STA from an academic standpoint?  Also, how would this impact admissions?  Thanks[/quote]
