[quote=Anonymous]I've been very pleased with DS's experience. Teachers are very engaged and involved with the students and there's at least a 50/50 split of male/female teachers, giving boys a wide variety of role models and mentors. DS plays a lot of sports and the coaches are good people with high expectations. We like their approach of building men of good character who will go on to contribute to their community after graduation. Coaches spend a lot of time with players, and I like the general messages they're sending - be grateful to your parents, take responsibility for yourself, etc. College counselors are very active and run group workshops and one-on-one meetings for parents every year the kid's in school. We'll see how it all pans out. One of the differences in this school and publics is that they kick out kids with behavior problems. I've seen it in action. [/quote]
