[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the middle school and high school academically challenging?[/quote]

I don’t know about the middle school but Upper school can be depending course selection. However if that is a priority I would look elsewhere.  Academic achievement isn’t particularly valued. Multiple classes last year had teachers leave mid year and a patchwork of subs unfamiliar with the courses for literally months. [/quote]

Is there a reason that they have chosen to not focus on academics?  What is the focus?  [/quote]

My kid is in the Upper School, and they do focus on academics and value academics. It’s a school with the goal of preparing kids for college - they care about academics deeply. But the PP is right that last year was a mess in the Upper School, and they had some teachers leave and had some new teachers who struggled. I think a lot of it had to do with leadership, and the head of the upper school left last year and there is a new head this year. Things seem off to a good start. We’ll see.[/quote]
