[quote=Anonymous]OP, are there parents of older kids who made the same transition at your school? Ask admissions to connect you, they can be helpful. Mine had a transition to a very similar sounding school and the hard part was the constant volume of work. The substance was fine, what they wrote for the teachers was highly regarded, but they were drowning at first. It's kind of like a natural athlete who has been out of training for a while jumping into a race with equal athletes who never stopped training. Once he gets his academic legs back under him, he'll be fine. I advise putting ECs on hold, or tone them down, until second semester if possible. Once he's used to the volume and the completely different expectations of the teachers, add back the EC time.[/quote]
