[quote=Anonymous]GDS is a lot of work (kids in HS now), but wouldn't say it's a pressure cooker. How kids handle work is very, very dependent on your own child and his or her goals and personality. Some kids stress out, but they would stress out anywhere---stress isn't foisted on them by teachers or classmates. My kids do fairly well, in sports and theater, extremely nice friends and some truly and genuinely caring and engaged teachers. Ninth grade as entry year is very reasonable in work; work ramps up later, particularly with APs. But happy kids---I personally would have loved going to school there. Look too at Burke as maybe a little lower key. From parents there, St. Anselm's has some similarities to GDS as a place where kids work hard, but not a competitive pressure cooker place.[/quote]
