[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How difficult is it to gain admission during an entry year (9th grade)? My DS is very intelligent but has been in public for ES and MS. Would appreciate any insights as well as any experiences others have had recently with their DS. Thanks![/quote] For any boys transferring in from public, be prepared for a significant jump in workload and sky high expectations for writing skills. Boys in 9th are expected to write at the level of college sophomores. Several of your classes will be taught at a freshman college level: history, biology, English, Spanish/French. Geometry is taught at such a high level that freshmen from public schools who are repeating have trouble with it. [/quote] Big exaggeration. Huge. [/quote] So you say, non-STA parent.[/quote]
