[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean parent here. Our child has ADHD-inattentive type and various other LDs, combined with advanced academics in some areas. the schools has been absolutely amazing at personalizing accommodations to bring out the best in him as a student and also accelerate his academics above grade level where needed. We love that in ever single subject there are 5 levels as a regular course of business.  they seamlessly move kids to where they fit best pace-wise.  I don't know anyone tutoring (though it is surely possible I'm just not in that loop). I think it is best of situations:  college prep with support and accommodations where it helps.  For us, it is 5 stars.    [/quote]

This sounds ideal. Does it continue the differentiated learning throughout high school? How do kids do when switching to college courses without differentiation?[/quote]

We are not in HS yet, so not sure.  But what we are seeing so far is that my son is learning which strategies work for him and which accommodations matter to him.  By the time he gets to college this will just be his way of doing school, and he will know what to advocate for.  a small example.... handwriting is a struggle for him and was a major problem for him before McLean - bad grades, self esteem, etc.  Mclean has him doing nearly all his work via typing.  His work is much better and he succeeding now.  He will seek that accommodation if its not already a given in college.     [/quote]
